David Doniger: The Three Biggest Honkers from Senator Murkowski and Her Supporters
Honker #1: It’s not about the science.

Ah, but it is. The resolution of disapproval would overturn EPA’s science-based finding that global warming pollution is dangerous to Americans’ health and to their environment.

As the vote nears, many Murkowski supporters are trying to soft-pedal their science denialism. But some cannot help themselves.

On balance, scientists aren’t entirely sure what effect clouds will have on global warming. Most climate models predict that clouds will amplify global warming slightly. Some observations of clouds support model predictions, but direct observational evidence is still limited. Clouds remain the biggest source of uncertainty (apart from human decisions to control greenhouse gas emissions) in predicting how much global temperatures will change.
Both Sides Now (Clouds) - Joni Mitchell
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow,
It's cloud illusions I recall,
I really don't know clouds, at all.
