\t\u00abAfter the Nov. 7 elections, many observers believed Republicans would moderate some controversial positions, from the Iraq War to their resistance to the science on global warming. But one of the surprises of the past few months is how many Republicans from President George W. Bush to leaders of the new congressional minority have stuck to their guns and dug in their heels.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn this guest essay, Richard Monastersky and Jeffrey Brainard look at the hostile reaction that global warming scientists got from key House Republicans during a hearing in February<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWhen Congress starts discussing the climatic effects of dinosaur farts, it treads on dangerous territory, given members’ own reputations for producing hot air. But Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California bravely ventured into that sensitive subject on Feb. 8, during a heated hearing on global warming in the House Committee on Science and Technology.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn the three-hour session, members quizzed four scientists who had helped oversee a report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, better known as the IPCC.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWhile much of the hearing centered on technical aspects of climate science, the session produced some dramatic scenes of political theater, including a rare appearance by the speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi of California, before the committee.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe fireworks underscored how politically charged the issue of climate change remains, even as several formerly skeptical members of Congress said they were now convinced that the problem is real.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
