Weird Science Alive and Well in the US Congress

Just a little glimpse at what passes for scientific knowledge in the US Congress. Apparently the star of the show is a Republican called Joe Barton who, among other things, believes that: windpower might cause global warming by slowing the wind.
Oil in Alaska disproves global warming - ever

This is also the same Joe Barton who apologized to BP's Tony Hayward over his grilling over the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster. With guys like this in the US government no wonder the US is in such bad shape.

Earlier in the week American Media outlets lambasted Georgia Representative Hank Johnson for his concern over the safety of the inhabitants of the U.S. Protectorate of Guam. Johnson feared that the Island would tip over if the U.S. Army sent too many troops to her shores.
