Ethics panel -- oxymoron.

Besides, if you NEVER, EVER vote for an incumbent, the problem goes away.

What are the Ethics involved in continuing to use shoddy science, unproven by observation, to push additional government controls/taxes (Cap and Trade, etc) on us?
Believe the Left on Global Warming?
From Yesterday's NY Times-
"In several e-mail exchanges, Kevin Trenberth, a climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and other scientists discussed whether a string of recent years of relatively stable temperatures undermined scientific models that predict long-term warming.
“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t,” Dr. Trenberth wrote."
Looks like Al Gore's profits are in jeopardy- no problem for Al: he's already a multimillionaire from this panic.
