Chair: Joshua Rauh, Hoover Institution
Panelists: Roger Pielke Jr., University of Colorado Boulder and Dominic Parker, U. of Wisconsin and Hoover Institution

Are scientists - including social scientists - using objective language to describe the environment or is advocacy leaking into scientific discourse?
