Run by PhD-holding, peer-review loving, non-gov't members of #TheResistance. Providing science commentary. DM to get involved. Not the official @HouseScience.

@RepBonamici @HouseScience @IPCC_CH When you are happy that @HouseScience can have meaningful hearings with qualified witnesses representing the scientific consensus on climate, but then you think about how much time we wasted and how much we have to do.

We got to celebrate our victory two years ago but today we’ll be cheering on the #altgov fam like…

[BadHombreLands NPS @BadHombreNPS]

Tomorrow's #Inauguration is a celebration of that. It's a celebration of us and of hope.

Justice and action will follow. But for now- I love you all, #resistance family and #altgov.

A few months ago, I reported that @RepMoBrooks claimed rocks falling into the ocean contributed to sea level rise. This week, he called me a "science denier." https://t.co/wj1SxkugHB

A long, long time ago we knew @RepAndyBiggsAZ was terrible…

Last night @RepAndyBiggsAZ was met with jeers when he expressed doubt about climate change at his #AZ05 town hall.

This was the originally projected path of the Hurricane in its early stages. As you can see, almost all models predicted it to go through Florida also hitting Georgia and Alabama. I accept the Fake News apologies!

@RogueNASA If what you are asking for is always less than what gets funded, it shouldn't count as proposing increased funding.

GOP: "Less is more!"

[House Science Committee @housescience]

The President’s FY20 budget request included $21.5 billion for NASA. Although this is a decrease from the amount appropriated in FY19, the Trump Administration has consistently proposed increased funding for NASA & Congress has appropriated even more than requested

Elections matter. Remember this. Having the majority allows the @HouseScience Committee to effectively represent the consensus of scientists and also the nuances of our fields in hearing witnesses, as opposed to a lone witness in a sea of obfuscation.

@jerry_jtaylor @NiskanenCenter @JosephMajkut I know, right?! Just look at the witnesses from the climate hearing two years ago when the GOP were the majority. (!) indeed:

House Science hearing will feature researchers who reject 97% scientific consensus that climate change is primarily due to human activity.

Today: The House Science Committee (now with more science!) examines "The State of Climate Science and Why it Matters." Watch live via the link below.

[Science Committee Democrats @sciencedems]

This past year we learned from numerous reports that #climateaction is necessary now more than ever. We must work to mitigate and solve this growing threat.

Dr. John Christy is favored by former House Science chair Lamar Smith and has often testified at hearings alongside the other familiar faces of anthro-global-warming deniers. He has also used problematic figures, some of which are discussed in detail here:
