On Rationally Speaking:

Our guest Eugenie C. Scott joins us to talk about a new initiative of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) to tackle denialism of global warming.

The scientific issues are presented as “not being settled,” or that there is considerable debate among scientists over the validity of claims.
