This is science?

Myron Ebell, science advisor to the President of the United States, gave an interview on BBC Radio 4, which you can listen to here (start at about 3:30 in). The entire interview is bizarre, given in that oddly flat tone peculiar to right-wing paranoids (think Richard Perle's cultist delivery), but the highlight for me came when Ebell claimed that global warming is an anti-American conspiracy, perpetrated by scientists who take government money, and that the only independent scientists are in the United States.

Please read The Poor Man's accounting of this guy. You really need to know his qualifications for his position.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
