Issa calls for 'relook' at climate science - The Hill's E2-Wire

House Oversight and Government Reform ranking member Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is promising to give a “careful relook” at climate change science in the wake of last year’s “Climategate” scandal if Republicans take over the House.

“That doesn’t mean that global warming isn’t happening,” Issa told The Hill on Wednesday. “It means that we have to make sure that when we recalibrate what’s happening, why it’s happening, how much it’s happening, we need to ensure that we get a careful relook at the figures so that we’re accurate.

“It could be happening faster or slower,” he added, “but it’s very clear that those people played fast and loose with both the truth and our money.”

“I won’t accept anything as settled science because in the 1970s remember you had Jim Hansen talking about global cooling,” Issa said, referring to the head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and outspoken advocate of efforts to mandate reduction in man-made greenhouse gas emissions. “So I think science should always be filled with skeptics, and I want to make sure the skeptics are heard.”
