"Evolution a 'lie from the pit of hell'." Says a member of the
Posted: Oct 8, 2012
From the L.A. Times: "...Congressman Broun’s remarks have raised eyebrows among liberals and scientists — congressional tracking service Govtrack.us rates him as one of the most conservative members of the GOPcaucus — some of Broun’s strict creationist views aren’t that far out of the mainstream of American public opinion.
Nor are Broun’s views radically out of whack with other Republicans on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. Another member is Missouri Rep. Todd Akin, still dodging flak for saying victims of "legitimate rape" were unlikely to become pregnant because “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Akin is running for the Senate.
Over at Wired Magazine, Brandon Keim has run down the list of other views held by House science committee members:
1. The committee’s chair, Ralph Hall (R-Texas), lumps 'global freezing' together with global warming, which he doesn’t believe humans can significantly impact because 'I don't think we can control what God controls.
2. Dana Rohrbacher (R-Huntington Beach) thinks cutting down trees reduces levels of greenhouse gases they absorb.
3. Mo Brooks (R-Alabama) still trots out the debunked notion that a scientific consensus existed in the 1970s on 'global cooling,' which he portrays as a scare concocted by scientists 'in order to generate funds for their pet projects.'"
For the rest of the article:
(From Wikipedia: The Committee on Science, Space and Technology is a committee of the United States House of Representatives. It has jurisdiction over non-defense federal scientific research and development. Specifically, the committee has partial or complete jurisdiction over the following federal agencies: NASA, theDepartment of Energy, EPA, ATSDR, NSF, FAA, NOAA, National Institute of Standards and Technology, FEMA, the U.S. Fire Administration, and United States Geological Survey.)

one would wonder how these people end up on the - science committee

What connection is there between these anti-science committee members - and the Koch brothers, with their
[ In Reply To ..]Tea Party string-pulling and their opaque organization Americans for Prosperity?
Direct connections to the $400 million they've pledged to defeat Democratic candidates this year and unknown fortunes they've spent in the past can be googled for a couple. For the rest? Well, all those committee members named are Tea Partiers, all are hard-right conservative Republicans, and all are committed to defeating any legislation meant to combat climate change and pollution.
So that far, at least, they're all the kind of legislators the Koch brothers and ALEC work hard to get elected.
And, of course, they all made their way onto the congressional committee in charge of environmental legislation.
The Kochs are very well documented to have been funding and supporting defeat of environmental legislation since the 1970s, even if only a fraction of their involvement is actually known.
They for just as long have been a major force behind climate change denial in this country. In fact, that position would be owned by a few fringe fundamentalist churches if not for their efforts.
It's very much about money, as well as libertarian ideology, of course. The Political Economy Research Institute ranks Koch Industries as the tenth worst air polluter in the U.S. in their Toxic Release Inventory. "Koch Industries has a long record of environmental crimes and violations...")
Bill Nye (The Science Guy) slams Broun, "by any measure unqualified - to make decisions about science SM
[ In Reply To ..]Bill Nye on Representative Broun's position on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee: "Since the economic future of the United States depends on our tradition of technological innovation, Representative Broun's views are not in the national interest...For example, the Earth is simply not 9,000 years old... He is, by any measure, unqualified to make decisions about science, space, and technology."
Representative Broun is currently running unopposed for his fourth term in the House.
