I’ve written about the Demcortas’ war on science before, it seems they are still at it. House Democrats apparently refused to allow a global warming skeptic to appear alongside Al Gore during a congressional hearing yesterday.
UK’s Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon.
“The House Democrats don’t want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face,” Monckton told Climate Depot in an exclusive interview. “They are cowards.”
This is rather sad. If they are confident that evidence supports their position on global warming, then they shouldn’t have any fear. Still, in the interest of facts, we should be willing to hear evidence from both sides and make an objective conclusion from that evidence. I know that facts and debate aren’t exactly the Democrats’ strong points, but when they are trying to push disastrous legislation through the politics of fear over global warming, then we need to stand up against this.
Apparently, this whole charade has less to do with science about climate change, and more to do with a coordinated fundraising pitch for the DCCC.
Gore’s influence is felt in large and small ways — from providing his thoughts and strategic guidance to President Obama, House SpeakerNancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) to aiding his friend Al Franken in the ongoing Minnesota Senate race to fundraising for the party campaign committees.
Witness a fundraising email for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee signed by Gore set to be sent out today in coordination with Earth Day.
“I can tell you that President Obama has signaled in the strongest possible terms that he intends to take bold steps and harness innovative resources to solve the climate crisis,” writes Gore. “Not only that, but Speaker Pelosi has said she will personally shepherd climate legislation through.”
This has everything to do to more tax revenue and more campaign cash for the Democrats, and nothing to do with science…
