			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vicious Attacks on Climate Scientists are Denialists&#8217; New Low (Steve Valk, <a title="&quot;The climate deniers are kicking puppies now.  That was my reaction when I heard that Katharine Hayhoe was being deluged with hate mail after stories surfaced that she had written a chapter on climate change for Newt Gingrich's upcoming book, a chapter quickly dropped when conservative commentators began making a big fuss about it. Similar attacks have been leveled against MIT scientist Kerry Emanuel following his speech at a forum for Republicans concerned about climate change. The &quot;frenzy of hate&quot; he's received include threats to his wife.&quot;" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-valk/katharine-hayhoe-gingrich_b_1202490.html">Huff Post</a>)</p>
