Just before 2 a.m. on February 19, the war on climate science showed its grip on the U.S. House of Representatives as it voted to eliminate U.S. funding for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Transcript of floor debate follows.

To give you the flavor of how the know-nothings are in the saddle, here’s the debate on the amendment to de-fund the IPCC (my unofficial transcript).

The know-nothings in the proverbial saddle being the academic elitists who make a living from IPCC funding. Good riddance and hooray for the GOP. It's about time.

Reagan was a good man and I doubt that he intended for the ipcc to become the corrupt cesspool of liars that it is today.

I suspect we can say the same thing about the founding fathers and today's government.

Now that is true, the founding fathers would have moved to Canada a long time ago, both the political parties in the US jumped the shark and headed down the orwellian path long ago.
