The New Hampshire House Ignores Science

Members of the legislative chamber made a number of statements that were especially disturbing: [Source: CAP] Deputy Majority Leader Shawn Jasper (R-Hudson) explained his vote: "Neither man nor cow is responsible for global warming." Rep. James Garrity (R-Atkinson), chairman of the House's Science Technology and Energy Committee, claimed that RGGI relies on "shaky climate science." Rep. Frank Holden (R-Lyndeboro), vice chairman of the House's Science, Technology and Energy Committee, wrote in the majority committee report that the "science of climate change is far from clear." Rep. Andrew Manuse (R-Derry): "The reasons used to promote RGGI were based in false, exaggerated and highly politicized science."
