The Climate Science Rapid Response Team is a service to provide accurate information on climate science in response to media and government queries, by matching members of the media and government with questions, to the working climate scientists best able to answer. "Nearly all of [the participating climate scientists] are members of University faculties in departments involving some aspect of climate science or in government laboratories (e.g. NASA, NOAA), both in the US and abroad."[1]
The "matchmakers" - John Abraham, Scott Mandia and Ray Weymann - formed the group in November 2010.
