Cambridge, MA – March 10, 2019 – The Gold Standard in science is the scientific method, which informs us that a prediction must be compared with reality. If the predictions match, the science is right. If they do not match, the science is wrong. Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai’s “#ShowMeTheHeat and I’ll Give You GREEN,” pledges $100 Million to AOC and the Green New Deal if the predicted Temperature Anomaly of 2.4 C is achieved now or by November 3, 2020. NASA’s site which tracks the Temperature Anomaly will be used as the source of measurement. Currently, NASA measures this Temperature Anomaly at 0.8 C, not the predicted 2.4 C, as it should be as of today. The website ClimateCountDown2020.Com and ShowMeTheHeat.Com will provide updates and track progress.

As an independent thinker and anti-Establishment activist, Dr. Shiva has not been shy about his support for President Donald J. Trump, a disrupter of the current political elite. Similarly, Dr. Shiva supports the disruptive and anti-Establishment passion of AOC, and this pledge of $100 Million seeks to match her passion with science.

As a lifelong green activist, accomplished scientist, and fighter for social justice, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai is thrilled with the heightened awareness and renewed passion created by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) for climate change and the Green New Deal. As important as passion is, the science will also be important to get everyday people onboard, given the sacrifices and additional costs the Green New Deal will require.
