Conversations with scientists exploring science-based ways to protect the future of our planet, our children, and other creatures that share our World. We live on a planet in crisis. Scientists have warned us about the rapidly increasing dangers of climate change and destruction of the biosphere - specifically in the 1992, 2017 and 2019 World Scientists’ Warnings which were signed by 1,700; 15,000 and 11,000 scientists respectively when issued.

Friends and colleagues pay tribute to the late Stuart Scott, who passed away on July 15, 2021 after a long battle with cancer. Scott’s efforts to put attention on World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity: Second Notice, led to the formation of the World Scientists’ Warning Foundation. This is audio from a press conference hosted by Scientists Warning Europe at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland in November of 2021.

From the Foundation’s website: 

“Stuart H. Scott was an American environmentalist and educator known for his creativity in communicating the urgency and severity of the impact of the current ‘growth’ economic system on climate, habitability of Earth, and society. Scott was the ultimate ‘systems thinker’, with training in a variety of scientific fields, work experience in finance, education and information systems, as well as extensive investigative immersion in Nature, cognitive psychology and long-time presentation skills.

In 2018, Scott presented with Greta Thunberg and her father Svante Thunberg, to COP-24 in Poland, from which Greta’s unwavering clear message to world leaders was amplified and her position cemented as the preeminent spokesperson for youth and future generations.

Scientists’ Warning Foundation is grateful for the colossal effort that Stuart Scott invested in founding ScientistsWarning.org.
