Hot again, cold again, the weather goes up and down. Freeman Dyson is 
indeed a heavy weight and a man to be listened to. Poor Eric the Red 
went during the good times and his colony survived 450 years and then
got stranded in the cold. 
This isn't my response. Steven Hawking is a very heavy weight.
Since the February 2004 release of the scientist statement speaking out 
against political interference in science and calling for the 
restoration of scientific integrity to policy making, a steady stream of 
scientists has expressed their concern by adding their signatures to the 
statement. Initially signed by 62 leading scientists, the statement now 
bears the signature of more than 12,000 scientists from all 50 states 
and several U.S. territories, including 52 Nobel laureates, 62 National 
Medal of Science winners, 194 members of the National Academies of 
Science, and science advisors to both Republican and Democratic 
presidents dating back to Eisenhower.

Gingrich saw to the dismantling of the Office of Technological 
*****sment which advised Congress. Then Jim Tozzi and John Graham
promoted the Data Quality Act which effectively did away with 
scientific modeling, even though we still use it to *****s nuclear
war head effectiveness.
