In a stunning victory for ignorance, the US House of Representatives voted today to dig our collective heads in the sand. It passed an amendment to the National Defense Authorization bill that reads:
None of the funds authorized to be appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used to implement the U.S. Global Change Research Program National Climate Assessment, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report, the United Nation’s Agenda 21 sustainable development plan, or the May 2013 Technical Update of the Social Cost of Carbon for Regulatory Impact Analysis Under Executive Order 12866.
If we don’t study it, it will go away.
