I think the piece is poorly titled, maybe even click-baity. The statement itself is specifically about moving forward on policies to address climate change and endocrine disruptors, which they believe is being obstructed by industry/commercial interests. By being signatories to this statement, they're expressing a unified stance. It's not really about how to combat science manipulation. It's just calling it out. As for what to do, they state: We therefore call for the development and implementation of effective measures that address both endocrine disrupting chemicals and climate change in a coordinated fashion. An effective way of achieving this would be by creating an organization within the United Nations with the same international standing and charge as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This body would review the science to be used by decision makers in the public interest and would protect our science from the influence of vested interests. Edit to add: These are contentious topics. If you choose to down-vote, I'd appreciate a comment in the interest of open communication. Thanks!
