When he refuted the intergovernmental panel on climate change in feb., 2007 I thought he was BAT-CRAP CRAZY. Has anyone listened to the scientists in regard to the short term effect on climate change? What I remember is that no matter what is done, or (God help us!) not done, in the next 15 or so years (??) it won't significantly change the short term outcome of the clmate. What we do now, or don't do, will however effect things beyond that short term window. PLEASE, let's take this out of the hands of those who have a financial stake in short term, status quo, profit...I don't want the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal influencing science fact and scientific hypotheses by saying it's bad for the economy...how much is at stake for those who are pulling the strings @ the "journal"?...follow the money... to Uosdwis: I agree about the ‘honorable’ mr. rohrbacher.

I'm watching Rep Dana Rohrabacher, and that guy is just plain BAT-CRAP CRAZY. First of all, he says Al Gore won a "noble" prize, and says something about a "cock-a-phony" (cacophony), and repeatedly says "nucular." He actually says the Three Mile Island incident was PSEUDO-SCIENCE!! Excuse me, what part of "hydrogen bubble" is pseudo-science? How is ionizing radiation pseudo-science? This guy is so far off the mark, he should be disqualified from serving in the Congress. Please, for the love of God, VOTE HIM OUT AT YOUR EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY, Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa!
