GOP Chooses Non-Scientist Lord Monckton as Sole Expert Witness at Climate Change Hearing

[kgrandia]

ouse Republicans have chosen Lord Christopher Monckton, a non-scientist with a penchant for outrageous remarks, as their sole witness at tomorrow’s hearing in front of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.

Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) called the hearing in an effort to further restore public confidence in climate science, and to set the record straight that ‘Climategate’ was not the scandal climate deniers and the right-wing media tried to portray in the wake of the theft of private emails from scientists at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia.

A press release announcing the hearing states that the scientists "will address the claims of deniers head-on."

1. This is because all the real scientists agree on global warming

See IPCC, Ohio State University Institute of polar studies, and even the Pentagon's plan for
global climate change.

2. What could one need besides a degree in classics and a few years as an economic journalist, to be

considered an expert on Climate Change?
