Moscow has had a ferocious heat wave. It appears due to global warming -- climate scientists are suggesting this, although they caution it is still to be analyzed in detail.

What are the costs of this event, which was widespread over Russia and into East Europe?

255 leading scientists send open letter to Science magazine calling for "an end to McCarthy- like threats of criminal prosecution against our colleagues based on innuendo and guilt by association, the harassment of scientists by politicians seeking distractions to avoid taking action, and the outright lies being spread about them."

They urge "The good news is that smart and effective actions are possible. But delay must not be an option."

Do you think this might be news, or will the media wait until some pop-eyed carney spouts off a bizarre and unsupportable criticism of modern science?
