Quote:The harassment faced by U.S.-based climate scientists has been well documented in the media—but not the harassment of scientists in Europe, Canada or the rest of the world.

That's because there hasn't been much to report.

While outspoken scientists of human-caused climate change in the United States endure torrents of freedom of information requests, hate mail and even death threats from skeptics, their counterparts abroad have been free to do their work without fear.

Jochem Marotzke, managing director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, said there is "no systematic attempt by a political camp" to target climate scientists in Germany. "I get the odd critical email from a skeptic, but would not classify anything as personally aggressive," said Marotzke. "Very different from the U.S. scene."

"I feel for my American colleagues and what they've had to deal with," said Tim Lenton, an earth system scientist who specializes in climate tipping points at the University of Exeter in the UK. Lenton said he has never had to fend off skeptic attacks against his work or his integrity. "British scientists aren't immune to attacks, but it is a very different level than compared to what is happening in the U.S."

How long will the war on science and education continue in the US?

Sounds to me like the real war is the War on Truth.
Jesus said, "I am the truth." He, Truth, also said, "All men will hate you because of me."

The anti-intellectualism movement in the US is the greatest threat to your country. I have no suggestions on fixing it, I think you're too far gone.

I've read many articles concerning global warming, from greenhouse gases to oil drilling to natural cycles and events. No one knows for sure, its all theory.
