Scientific Illiteracy is on the March.

In the case of Upton and Inhofe, I am cynically amazed by their willingness to put their heads on the chopping block --- as a cautious but literate scientist I suspect that they have a close to 90% chance of going into the history books as the most ignorant and thoughtless legislators in our history as the data comes in in the next FIVE to twenty years. They do have the courage of their convictions. These convictions apparently come from thin air. And probably polluted air.
Or likely from their fossil fuel burning donors.

If you're still on the fence, read Hansen's "Storms of my Grandchildren" for a cautious prediction.
