Science Wars

Chris Mooney was at yesterday's Congressional hearing on what is now euphemistically being called in Washington "sound science":


The House Committee on Resources' "sound science" hearing I attended yesterday represented, in my view, a fairly stunning attempt by Republican legislators to cast themselves as the party of "science," while pushing proposals that would actually deemphasize science conducted by federal agencies while privileging scientific claims coming from the private sector.

Sadly, B, as I have written extensively elsewhere[1], neither the left nor the right has clean hands on this issue of cherry-picking the science. Not sure how pointing that out has anything to do with "liberal propaganda".
