Physics Today : The world’s oldest scientific society in continuous existence, Britain’s Royal Society, has announced that it will create a new guide for the general public on climate change. In remarks heralding the new guide, Martin Rees, the president of the 350-year-old society, said,
Climate change is a hugely important issue, but the public debate has all too often been clouded by exaggeration and misleading information. We aim to provide the public with a clear indication of what is known about the climate system, what we think we know about it, and, just as importantly, the aspects we still do not understand very well.
If approved by the Royal Society’s governing council, the guide will be published this summer.
