Skeptic handed the reins in the U.S.

-      Robert McLean

I weep for humanity when the most powerful country in the world hands control of its science program to a climate change skeptic.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was named chair of America’s subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness, where he will oversee NASA and science programs.

Cruz has claimed there isn't enough evidence to prove global warming is occurring, telling CNN he was skeptical of the "so-called scientific theory."

The Huffington Post tells of Cruz’s appointment in the story: “Ted Cruz, Longtime Foe Of NASA And Science, Will Oversee NASA AndScience In New Congress”.
