“We must burn down the observatory so this will never happen again!”
Posted by Matski on July 20th, 2005
One hundred years ago, Teddy Roosevelt used the special powers of the legislative branch to tackle corruption and graft.
Now, the his heirs in the GOP shamefully use the same powers to obliterate progress and reason.
House Energy Committee Chairman Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) has continued the GOP’s offensive on global warming. From the Peacock throne of his committee chair, he’s requested additional hearings on a 1998 paper central to the corpus demonstrating the irrefutable fact of global warming.
The GOP seems hell bent on turning the debate on global warming into this century’s version of the debate on evolution.
By the way, notice the oil derrick and power towers in Barton’s Congressional page header.
