Being an environmentalist means that you get to make stuff up and never have to prove any of it.
Your query made me curious about this Jane Danowitz, Science Expert. Her Pew “Expert Profile” is here: http://www.pewtrusts.org/experts_profile.aspx?id=56702
Not surprisingly, she’s a lawyer with a BA in history, not a scientist. Also not surprisingly, she is, as they say around here, “guilty”. View at your own risk.
Wow, she’s a looker.
I’m sure an activist with her background (especially her advocacy for Roadless Forests!) gave reasonable and level headed advice to the administration.
Good Grief.
