Oh, the humanity: Warmist Revkin frets that the Republicans may shift funding from global warming junk scientists to medical researchers

The Real Threat to Science in the New Political Climate - NYTimes.com

A Dot Earth reader, J. Connors, reacted to my piece on the post-election prospect for hostile hearings on climate science by posting a spot-on comment about the real threat to such science in the new political climate:

If I were a climate scientist, I’d be a lot more worried about the budget than I would about these hearings. I expect that at least half of their government funding will either be shifted to medical research or cut from the budget entirely once the Republicans take control of the relevant committees in the House.
