"The House Science Committee convened a hearing on climate-change science Wednesday morning and it went just as I expected. We learned little, and political theater upstaged almost all productive discussion of science.
The witness panel, dominated by selections from the Republican majority, engaged in a fruitless debate over climate-change science fundamentals rather than advancing new, productive ideas to manage the problem.
[These scientists want to create ‘red teams’ to challenge climate research. Congress is listening.]
Mainstreams scientists were dismayed by the tenor and substance of the discussion:"
Jason Samenow reports for the Washington Post March 29, 2017.
