Ralph J. Cicerone, President of the National Academy of Sciences and Chair of the National Research Council

February 4, 2010 -- In an editorial in Science magazine, National Academy of Sciences President Ralph J. Cicerone says that the publicity surrounding the case of climate scientists’ e-mails that were stolen from a U.K. university has raised concerns about the standards of science and damaged public trust. While he says that scientists' understanding of climate change is undiminished by this incident, he calls for action to preserve the trust between science and society.
