Political Theater: House Science Panel To Hold Climate Denial Hearing

"'Get your popcorn ready,' writes Judith Curry, one of four witnesses who will testify before the House Science Committee on climate change science next Wednesday.

Curry is right. The congressional hearing, featuring some of the more polarizing figures in the climate change discussion, is sure to make for great political theater. But it won’t reveal much, if anything, new about science or advance the conversation about how to address the issue.

The hearing, titled 'Climate Science: Assumptions, Policy Implications, and the Scientific Method,' is an act of gamesmanship from a body intent on manufacturing doubt on scientific issues which have long been settled."
