global warming debate in U.S. Congress
"My primary concern about your investigation is that its purpose seems to be to intimidate scientists rather than to learn from them, and to substitute congressional political review for scientific review"
U.S. House of Representatives Science Committee Chairman, Rep. Sherwood Boehlert writing to fellow congressman Joe Barton. Rep. Barton, a Texas Republican, has initiated an investigation of three respected scientists who have documented unusually rapid warming of the earth.
