I have a new AGW post about how science fails to communicate, even when it is utterly correct and “wins” the debate.

Alley and Rohrabacher: Brain vs Bluster

littlegreenfootballs.com

If you watch this video you will see, Dana Rohrbacher, a Republican (of course) who is angling to be chairman of the Science and Technology committee, attempting to bluster against Dr. Richard Alley, an expert on paleo-climate from Penn State.

While Rohrbacher skips from debunked taking point to debunked talking point, Alley explains clearly and concisely the obvious reasons why the various talking points brought by the politician are garbage. There is only one problem. The listener must have a basic grasp of science and scientific reasoning to understand just how badly Rohrbacher was taken apart by Alley.
