Opposing Views: GOP candidates urged to accept climate change by scientists by Andrew Restuccia

Fifty New Hampshire scientists Thursday called on the Republican presidential candidates to accept the ?overwhelming? scientific evidence behind climate change.

The scientists issued the joint statement just weeks before the Jan. 10 New Hampshire primary, a key early test for the GOP White House hopefuls.

"We urge all candidates for public office at national, state, and local levels, and all New Hampshire citizens, to acknowledge the overwhelming balance of evidence for the underlying causes of climate change, to support appropriate responses to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, and to develop local and statewide strategies to adapt to near-term changes in climate,? the scientists said.

?Ignoring the issue of climate change places our health, our quality of life, our economic vitality, and our children?s future at risk.?

The GOP presidential candidates have raised questions about climate science, a politically thorny issue in Republican circles.
