National PAC Buys Ad Attacking Gov. Walker’s “War on Science”
WUWM Public Radio ^ | April 14, 2015 | By ANN-ELISE HENZL & MICHELLE MATERNOWSKI

A full-page ad ran in the Wisconsin State Journal Tuesday pulling Gov. Walker into the debate over a recent decision to bar workers on a state board from talking about and working on items related to climate change.

The decision has received national and international attention.

The newspaper ad suggests Gov. Scott Walker’s policies amount to a “war on science” meant to protect the investments of the Koch brothers and other conservative backers.

The PAC NextGen Climate Action bought the newspaper ad. The PAC is run by billionaire and Democrat Tom Steyer.

I’d sign up to help either one and I’m sure a number of freeper engineers would too.
Real engineers are used to fixing unsolvable problems without having to spend a bundle.

I know this dildo Steyer believes in the Global Warming myth but does he have any proof that this “War On Science” exists? Probably not. The boy needs to get a life.

Been known to do that. Appropriate items needed from wherever and use them to fix stuff. Kinda used to p.o. the desk bound engineers with no hands on.

Steyer and the rest of his cohorts in crime are conducting an Inquisition against people who don’t agree with their Global Warming BS.

"'Being green' is an industry ... a lying scamming industry that steals from taxpayers... of course they hate Walker."

Yes, as do many state and local government employees (re. spending cuts).

Actually, it was a case of government playing favoritism toward solyndra, which it SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE, because that is outside of how a government keeps a market free. A government keeps a market free by ensuring that coercion and fraud perpetrated by the market players are properly prosecuted under the law. It was unfairly propping up one company, and the competition was not fair as a result. I am perfectly fine with solar power being sold and produced in a fair market, not unfairly favored.

Attacks from Climate Change kooks is the least of Walker’s problems. See the article “Twelve Reasons Not to Vote for Scott Walker” ar Red State.

When the left wing nuts threaten arrest for “climate change deniers” and attack a governor for waging a “War on Science,”
I’m convinced that it is they who are wrong. Screaming “FOUL” for all to hear will never make them right.
