Flying Blind
Link to the Federation of American Scientists document "Flying Blind"" which documents the systematic removal of American scientists from advisory roles of not only Congress but also every administration going back to Nixon.
Separately, the history of various Administration's censor of scientists with regard to climate matters is also well documented.
For example, quote:
Quote:
Happer made the mistake of crossing Vice President Al Gore, the Clinton administration's ranking environmentalist. In April, Happer testified before the House Energy and Water Development Subcommittee on Appropriations. "I think that there probably has been some exaggeration of the dangers of ozone and global climate change," he said. "One of the problems with ozone is that we don't understand how the UV-B is changing at ground level, and what fraction of the ultraviolet light really causes cancer."
End quote. Source, "The Jasons" by Ann Finkbeiner, pp 174

For a brief Bio for Will Happer LINK
Nothing I've written has ever taken a position that current climate science is either all sound or all fallacy, but the statements "all scientist agree" as well as "95% of scientists agree" are nothing more than self serving political manipulation language with no basis in reality.
Secondly the history of Politicians observing and respecting the scientific method, and sad history of dismissing any data that doesnt support the "Political Objective" is well documented time and time again - on BOTH side of the aisle.
The only science Politicians have time (or need) for is "supportive science" while science that disagrees with political objective doesnt exist in the conversation - by various means and mechanisms to keep it quiet.
