Calling All Scientists!

Who should be our environmental advocates here, really? Scientists? Or those doing it now?

In our last class we talked about whether or not scientists should actually be advocates for environmental problems. A few people agreed that they should be and others disagreed. Those that agreed sayed that scientists should be because they know the information about problems going and because they have the data concerning it right in front of them. I'd say that that makes sense. I mean who knows better than someone that has the data right in front of them (or in a desk drawer close by). Science is unbiased, its straight forward. To have a scientist as an advocate for anything could work, I actually think that it would work best. Scientists know best and I feel that instead of depending on someone else to present the information (which could end up being twisted in a way that supports their side of an argument), scientists can give the information as it is. Who do you think can be the best advocate for any issue at all?
