Sean Hannity is failing science.

Okay—that may not be shocking to you and me, but it ought to be. It is unconscionable that an opinion leader like Hannity ignores the facts about climate change every chance he gets—which is a lot, given that he’s one of the most popular Fox News personalities. Even worse, he’s become a bad influence on his fellow students (and his viewers), replacing established scientific facts with his own talking points.

And he’s not alone. Pundits and talking heads take to the airwaves virtually every day to promote bad science and distort the facts. They’re not just failing science—they’re failing their viewers, and it’s up to the Union of Concerned Scientists and people like you to tell them that they aren’t making the grade.

Take a look at Sean’s failing grades—pictured at right—and then send a note to his parent (company) and tell them to put Sean on time out until he’s ready to get the science right.

We can’t make good decisions about climate change or a whole range of other issues without strong science and reliable information. And unless people like you and me speak out, cable TV is going to continue to promote bluster and ideology when they should be educating their viewers with solid facts.

Please join me—tell Fox News that Sean Hannity is failing science.
