In a 2003 speech titled The Science of Climate Change, Senator James Inhofe, Chair of the Senate Committee on Public Works and the Environment, provided the following principles that he says guide his committee’s attitude to climateย change.

โ€œThat’s why I established three guiding principles for all committee work:

  • it should rely on the most objectiveย science;
  • it should consider costs on businesses andย consumers;
  • and the bureaucracy should serve, not rule, theย people.

โ€œWithout these principles, we cannot make effective public policy decisions. They are necessary to both improve the environment and encourage economic growth and prosperity.โ€

Per the Teresa Heinz post that follows, Inhofe’s commitment to โ€œthe most objective scienceโ€ extends only as far as the โ€œscientistsโ€ who will tell him what he wants to hear.
