EPA Chief: Arguing climate change is 'kind of nuts'
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy on Wednesday called on the science community to continue to explain the climate change.
McCarthy said that while the vast majority of scientists agree that the climate is changing, the scientific community doesn't always do a good enough job of explaining those changes and their impact to the public. She said it was important to make that point to the general public because the cost of inaction was great.
"Science is under attack like it has never been before," McCarthy said. "Now is not the time for us to hide or to begin to be more quiet. It's the time for us to embrace this challenge.
"That is what has made the United States strong. We have not shied away from difficult decisions. Each and every time we have been able to push the envelope and innovate our way forward."
