When you are happy that @HouseScience can have meaningful hearings with qualified witnesses representing the scientific consensus on climate, but then you think about how much time we wasted and how much we have to do.
We got to celebrate our victory two years ago but today we’ll be cheering on the #altgov fam like…

Tomorrow's #Inauguration is a celebration of that. It's a celebration of us and of hope.
Justice and action will follow. But for now- I love you all, #resistance family and #altgov.
A long, long time ago we knew @RepAndyBiggsAZ was terrible…
Last night @RepAndyBiggsAZ was met with jeers when he expressed doubt about climate change at his #AZ05 town hall.

… and @RepMoBrooks too, sensing a theme here…

A few months ago, I reported that @RepMoBrooks claimed rocks falling into the ocean contributed to sea level rise. This week, he called me a "science denier." eenews.net/climatewire/stori…
“As you can see, almost all…”
Actually like <5%.
“Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?”

If what you are asking for is always less than what gets funded, it shouldn't count as proposing increased funding.

GOP: "Less is more!"
The President’s FY20 budget request included $21.5 billion for NASA. Although this is a decrease from the amount appropriated in FY19, the Trump Administration has consistently proposed increased funding for NASA & Congress has appropriated even more than requested

Elections matter. Remember this. Having the majority allows the @HouseScience Committee to effectively represent the consensus of scientists and also the nuances of our fields in hearing witnesses, as opposed to a lone witness in a sea of obfuscation.

Today: The House Science Committee (now with more science!) examines "The State of Climate Science and Why it Matters." Watch live via the link below.
This past year we learned from numerous reports that #climateaction is necessary now more than ever. We must work to mitigate and solve this growing threat.

Surprise, surprise. Dr. John Christy is back in the spotlight again.
U.S. EPA [former coal industry lobbyist Andrew Wheeler] taps climate skeptic [John Christy] for science advisory panel. cnbc.com/2019/01/31/reuters-…
The Trump regime appoints people who do not believe in the mission of their agencies.
Dr. John Christy is favored by former House Science chair Lamar Smith and has often testified at hearings alongside the other familiar faces of anthro-global-warming deniers. He has also used problematic figures, some of which are discussed in detail here:

The Pentagon’s woke but we still can’t take measurements. #nonessential
The #GovernmentShutdown has reached Earth’s melting poles. IceBridge, a decadelong NASA campaign meant to secure a seamless record of ice loss, has had to sacrifice at least half of what was supposed to be its final spring deployment. @NewsfromScience bit.ly/2RAGHB1
But where will we go for the latest climate change denying op-ed?
…just kidding! We know @HouseScienceGOP and @RepAndyBiggsAZ will be more than happy to supply.

#OTD as the 86th Congress convened, the Science Committee was established in the House of Representatives. Join us in celebrating #60yrsofHouseScience as we share some of our achievements. #HouseScience60
We could not be more excited about @RepEBJ chairing the House Science Committee. May peer reviewed publications flow like a river through this Twitter account, flooding over the trickle of flawed editorials from the previous administration.
Congratulations @RepEBJ for being elected to serve as the thirteenth Chair of the Science Committee! Take a look at Chairwoman Johnson's statement:
