The clip I posted last week of Richard Alley vastly overmatching Dana Rohrabacher seemed to strike a chord with a lot of people, and I think I know why.


Allowing the climate scientists to speak for themselves and explain the details of what they know is a whole lot more credible than when laymen like myself try to do it – but scientists don’t often get enough time on a public platform to tell what they know in plain english.
Last month’s congressional hearings deserve wider exposure, because it was just such an opportunity – and the Science and Technology Committee was doing exactly what it was supposed to do – acquaint citizens and lawmakers with the essential facts of nature and the planet we live on, so as to be able to make informed decisions.
I’m looking at more of the hearings, and will try to pull out some further informative bits in future posts.

2. I love the passion he has for his work! And he...

has a unique ability to explain things for even the most ignorant of Tea Baggers to understand but they don't want to know the facts. It is like trying to explain evolution to a creationist!

3. Thanks. That is a great video.

I only had time to watch it but am bookmarking it. He makes this stuff understandable.
