Looking Ahead

Marc Ambinder: "The GOP plans to hold high profile hearings examining the alleged 'scientific fraud' behind global warming, a sleeper issue in this election that motivated the base quite a bit."

1. Please hold those hearings

2. I agree; maybe some of them will wake up. nt

8. please try to debate 200 + year old science ... it will make 'em look good

The more CO 2 in a body of gas the more heat it will hold .. this was proven over
200 years ago .... something about "the gas laws."

10. Trouble is, it ties up the scientists who have real work to do

They have to devote far too much time coming up with endless amounts of data, archives and so on (see the pernicious campaign by the Virginia Attorney General for an example) when they ought to be doing the urgent climate science. So the end result is delays - which is just what the oil companies etc. want.

And I fear that the Republicans think they have found enough gullible voters that they're not concerned about looking bad when they question 200 year old science. After all, they don't worry about questioning evolution.
