A bunch of scientists acolytes want Rebekah Mercer to resign from the board of the American Museum of Natural History because she doesn't adhere to the accepted dogma that man-made climate change is real and is a threat.
"We are concerned that the vital role of science education institutions will be eroded by a loss of public trust if museums are associated with individuals and organizations known for rejecting climate science," reads the nonprofit museum's open letter, now endorsed by more than 300 climate scientists, ecologists, and other academics.
The letter—which comes after employees filed complaints about Mercer last March—stresses Mercer "nominated climate denier Arthur Robinson" for national science adviser and calls on the AMNH "to end ties to anti-science propagandists and funders of climate science misinformation."
I find it ironic that they cite science as the reason for rejecting people who advocate for science rather than for tampering with data to obtain preconceived results. Also that those who are most responsible for disseminating climate science misinformation (i.e. "adjusted" data) are mewling about climate science misinformation.
