The Democrat's idea of 'free and open debate' on climate change

No skeptics need testify. No discussion of Climategate necessary

John Fund of the Wall Street Journal reports on a hearing in the House Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming that featured Obama's science advisor John Holdren.

One of Holdren's emails was featured in the Climategate hack where the scientist ridiculed AGW skeptics.

Moore reports:

In the House, the Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming held a hearing on what Chairman Ed Markey said was "the urgent consensus view . . . that global warming is real, and the science indicates it is getting worse." But the only witnesses were officials from the Obama administration, who support dramatic action on climate change. Republicans asked to have a global-warming skeptic appear but were denied.

Holdren is right on one point: the emails discuss only a small part of the total AGW science.

What he doesn't mention is that the emails only represent 5% of the information contained in the document dump and that other aspects of the scandal reveal a much deeper problem; that the temperature data on which the IPCC based its recommendations for economy-killing cuts in emissions cannot be duplicated anywhere else.

Yet Democrats simply ignore Climategate or treat it as a joke...
