GOP Climate Change Hearings Covered Up, Ignored, and Another Missed Opportunity By Democrats.

How can the extremist Republican critics of climate change hide their bad news from the public, research that proved they were wrong, after having a very public hearing? Where the hell are our D.C. Democrats on this political talking point disaster?

LA Times: A team of UC Berkeley physicists and statisticians that set out to challenge the scientific consensus on global warming is finding that its data-crunching effort is producing results nearly identical to those underlying the prevailing view. The hearing was called by GOP leaders of the House Science & Technology committee, who have expressed doubts about the integrity of climate science. The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project was launched by physics professor Richard Muller, a longtime critic of government-led climate studies, to address what he called "the legitimate concerns" of skeptics who believe that global warming is exaggerated. 

But Muller unexpectedly told a congressional hearing last week that the work of the three principal groups that have analyzed the temperature trends underlying climate science is "excellent.... We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups." Muller said his group was surprised by its findings.

The Koch brother’s money just disappeared down their own ideological job rabbit hole:  

The Berkeley project's biggest private backer, at $150,000, is the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation. But conservative critics who had expected Muller's group to demonstrate a bias among climate scientists reacted with disappointment. Anthony Watts, a former TV weatherman who runs the skeptic blog WattsUpWithThat.com, wrote that the Berkeley group is releasing results that are not "fully working and debugged yet.... But, post normal science political theater is like that."

This is horrific news for skeptics and deniers like Watts, who now look pathetically silly, and breathlessly conspiratorial.

The wingnuts lost a big one. Will any Democrat step up, and tell Americans the truth?
