Transcript of Vitter/Holdren available here : Did the President's Nominee for Science Advisor Say He Thinks [trace amounts of CO2 will kill a billion people in the next decade]?

Vitter:
Dr. Holdren, one of the lines in the President's Inaugural Address which I most appreciated was his comment about science, and honoring that, and not having it overtaken by ideology. My concern is that as one of his top science advisors, that many statements you've made in the past don't meet that test, and so I wanted to explore that. One is from 1971, an article with Paul Ehrlich, titled Global Ecology, in which you predicted that, "some form of eco-catastrophe, if not thermonuclear war, seems almost certain to overtake us before the end of the century." Do you think that was a responsible prediction?...

Bravo, Gary Hoover - Tulsa World: Beware climate alarmists, pseudo-scientists

In the name of scientific integrity and the effective use of our resources we should demand examination of the scientific bases and motives of climate change alarms and make sure that our support for energy programs is in the best interests of ourselves, our descendents and the world in general. A mixture of pseudoscience, emotion and politics is very dangerous.

COMMENTARY: Let's sue Dems for snow removal funds - Hingham, MA - The Hingham Journal

It’s amazing any Massachusetts town planned for snow removal at all! The Democratic Party and the Obama campaign are flush with cash (Massachusetts gave over $18 million to the Obama campaign), and Hingham must have relied on official Democratic Party and Obama campaign statements on global warming when crafting the snow removal budgets, so let’s get our cash. They may claim we were naïve and outline minor facts such as 2008 was the coolest year since 1997 and some 31,000 scientists signed an Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine declaration in 2007/2008 that “global warming” is not a global crisis and human activities have very little impact on the climate (The Petition Project). But who were we supposed to believe, those guys or Al Gore? After all, he won an Oscar!
