NOAA Leadership: Stop the Global Warming Cover-Up!
Katrina survivors and national leaders will speak about climate change. Activists will read aloud the names of hundreds of people still missing from Katrina.
Outreach and mobilizing is continuing toward our action to mark the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. On Saturday, August 26, at 12 noon, let's join together to remember those who died while we demand action on the greatest source of future Katrina-like disasters: global warming. We will call for housing, jobs and justice for Katrina survivors. And we will demand an end to the NOAA cover-up of the continuing series of scientific studies linking global warming to stronger and more destructive Category 4 and 5 hurricanes.
NOAA is THE agency within the federal government charged with the job of understanding what is happening with our atmosphere and our oceans. As such, it should be informing Congress, the Executive branch and the American people about these scientific studies and urging action on global warming, but it is not doing so. There is nothing on their website about these studies.
NOAA leadership continues to publicly deny that there is any global warming connection. Meteorologist William Gray, who says that human activity has little effect on global warming, is prominently featured and linked to NOAA and related websites. Several media outlets, including The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and The New Republic, have reported on the censoring of NOAA scientists who disagree with the NOAA leadership position. And in this article, posted November 29, 2005 in the NOAA Magazine, they say that "the increased hurricane activity since 1995 is not related to greenhouse warming." Instead they ascribe it to "the tropical multi-decadal signal," described as "natural occurring cycles in tropical climate patterns near the equator."
As people who understand the urgent need for immediate action to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and as people who believe that the federal government must get serious about the human needs of hundreds of thousands of Katrina survivors, let's plan to take action on Saturday the 26th from 12 noon to 3pm in front of NOAA headquarters, 1305 East-West Highway, at the Silver Spring Metro stop.
August 26th will be an important milestone in our on-going efforts for climate justice and truth-telling! Join us and bring a friend!
