Global Warming Hearing Was an Important Reminder (Sen. Frank Lautenberg)

July 23rd, 2008

Frankly, it’s incredible to see the University of Alabama challenge the facts—facts reported to us by thousands of scientists—and suggest that global warming was naturally caused. It’s preposterous. It’s reminiscent of the statement that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by the media.

That’s why I think this hearing was important. It reminded us of the science that proves global warming is real.  I think the two witnesses—Burnett and Dr. Trenberth—were excellent and knowledgeable. They let people know how foolish the Bush Administration’s policies have been. The Administration concealed information, and even though they had facts, they wanted to make sure those facts didn’t get out.
