Climate Change Lowlight of the Week

[marcusmarcusrc]

Michael Crichton was called yesterday to testify about global warming before the Senate Environment & Public Works committee by Senator Inhofe who wants to make decisions based on "sound science".

As discussed on realclimate.org.

What the *&#! is wrong with our government? (And yes, I realize that the government is messing up much more than just climate policy)

You saw about how they're relaxed all kinds of restrictions re: endangered species? I mean, who really gives a damn about diversity of the gene pool, right?

Hi Creamo! Wow, its been years!

Yeah, I saw headlines about the endangered species act revisions. I hear rumors that the administration also apparently wants to sell off National Parks in order to raise money. Plus bad mercury rules, bad energy policy, bad wetlands policy... the list of their environmental messups just goes on and on.

Add that to their issues with science in general, the fact that their economic policy bites, and let's not forget "WMDs in Iraq"...
