The discussion was meant to show that lawmakers are not yielding the climate discussion to those who reject mainstream science
For a few hours yesterday, climate science was not the target of attacks in Congress. Researchers, diplomats and policy experts warned about the dangers of ignoring clear research showing that humans are warming the planet at an alarming rate in an unofficial hearing hosted by Democratic lawmakers.
The discussion was an alternative to the recent hearings in the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, run by Chairman Lamar Smith, the conservative Texas Republican who has accused federal climate scientists of engaging in a global conspiracy. He has subpoenaed researchers whose work negates the idea that climbing temperatures have paused, a key talking point for climate skeptics.
Whereas the Republican-led hearings emphasize, and sometimes exaggerate, uncertainties in climate science, the roundtable yesterday hosted by committee Democrats focused on its alarming findings.
The discussion was meant to show that lawmakers are not yielding the climate discussion to those who reject mainstream science, said Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), the committee's ranking member.

Hey, Dems, the majority of thinking Americans reject your junk science, and YOU LOST, so STFU!
Man-made weather.
A lie by any other name...
The Lying Left. If you’re a Lying Leftist, you lie. It’s what you do.
The Lying Leftist unsubstantiated and unsupported man-made “climate change” myth to “justify” fascist tyranny is the latest lie in a long line. The Lying Left is tyranny looking for a place to happen.
Man-made weather.
A lie by any other name...
“Scientific American” hasn’t been trustworthy in decades. I think surrendered science for politics in the late 1980s.
What was a piece of crap article like this doing in a supposed "scientific" journal.
"Mainstream"?!?!
Apparently, the question was; "Use the term 'mainstream' in an Orwellian fashion".
Like "Mainstream" Media?!?!
LOL.
Yup, my Dad cancelled his subscription late 70’s.
The Reverend Al Gore has the answer..
Yes, Scientific American surrendered science for politics just like Eisenhower said would happen in his farewell address. The left loves the part about the “Military-Industrial Complex” but they forget the next paragraph about the government-science research funding complex.
Scientist who depend on grants to continue their research or scientists employed by the Federal Government...common sense tells you that climate change/global warming is extrapolating conclusions from incomplete data!
Its good these lefties are having childish hissy fits over all this silly crap. Now the people can see what they’re in for should they ever screw up and put demo rates in power again.
Mainstream Media = Fake News
Mainstream Science = Fake Science
They must’ve missed this from a new 2017 paper:
In the early twenty-first century, satellite-derived tropospheric warming trends were generally smaller than trends estimated from a large multi-model ensemble,
and:
Over most of the early twenty-first century, however, model tropospheric warming is substantially larger than observed,
Iow, the models, upon which all climate science depends, are wrong:
It’s not warming “at an alarming rate”.
Paper by Ben Santer, a Warmist, the charleton whose testimony to the EPA with pretty cherry picked graph, (mis)led them to declare CO2 as a “pollutant”.
Looks like Cya.
The Catholic church came after Galelieo for not supporting what they saw as the mainstream of science that put the Earth at the center and had the sun snd stars et al rebolve around it. Galileo was considered a denier of science against the consensus.
Scientific American. I recently thumbed through one after decades of not doing so. Quite a magazine. The articles were about homosexual animals being normal, to the fact that we will all be dead in 50 years from Global Warming, to how humans are basically a mistake, to how we would all be much better off if we adopted the Arab life style, to several other eye-popping rants. What the Hell happened to this magazine? Same stuff in the Popular Mechanics I subscribed to to help my grandson’s school fund drive: how petroleum is killing everyone to how renewable energy makes oil obsolete to how birds are more highly evolved than humans. Who reads this crap?
So the Democrats held a conspiracy meeting.
