When the Bush administration pushed to have Watson removed and Pachauri installed, the Union of concerned scientists wasted no time in sending out marching orders to scientists such as Wigly and Hulme about what actions they could take. Very simply when they saw their science being threatened by external forces, they were quick to weigh in on processes, procedures and leadership.
