SEATTLE, WA - The March for Science in Seattle will happen this Saturday - Earth Day - and some 10,000 people have already indicated they plan to participate, according to the event's Facebook page. The event begins Saturday morning at Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. After a rally, the march will head to the Seattle Center, according to organizers.

The March for Science movement began after the election of Donald Trump. Trump has appointed controversial leaders to major government posts - primarily, Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt, who doesn't necessarily believe in climate change. "I would not agree that [carbon dioxide] is a primary contributor to the global warming that we see," Pruitt told CNBC in early March. Pruitt also questions if humans have truly contributed to climate change through the release of carbon dioxide. A majority of scientists, however, agree that humans and carbon dioxide are major causes of global warming.

The Seattle March for Science will feature an array of speakers, from politicians like U.S. Rep. Suzane DelBene, D-Woodinville, and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, to conservationists, and former EPA official Michael Cox - famously, Cox sent a letter to Pruitt last month upon his retirement ripping the new EPA director for his views on climate change. The March for Science Seattle rally begins at 10 a.m. at Cal Anderson Park. The march to the Seattle Center begins at noon. Find out more about the march and the scheduled speakers here.
