Off to the Hill....

The big action today in science and politics is clearly going to be on Capitol Hill, where Henry Waxman is holding his second "scientific integrity" oversight hearing. According to Rick Piltz, C-SPAN will be broadcasting the hearing live for those who are interested.

As for me, I'm heading to the Hill early to get a seat, and will only be blogging again once I get back.....

P.S.: To ready yourself for the fireworks today, why not re-read a few of Andrew Revkin's "greatest hits"--exposes in The New York Times that really helped launch Henry Waxman's investigations:

"Bush Aide Softened Greenhouse Gas Links to Global Warming"

"Climate Expert Says NASA Tried to Silence Him"

One could say that the Republicans on the panel, including CT's own Chris Shays, were not happy to even have this committee hearing. I was glad to see Chairman Waxman keeping everyone in order.
