The House Resources Committee is holding a series of hearings on the misuse of science in enforcing the Endangered Species Act (ESA). On March 20, the committee will review legislation to amend the act.

I am searching to find who is on House Resources Committee. Please ping interested lists.

thanks

If all the spotted owls died and one farm or ranch was saved it would be worth it.Or if 1 job was saved for that matter

The truth is the owls will adapt to whatever happens

[CedarDave]

Previously, a government witness and leading expert on the California spotted owl, Gerry Verner, testified the study was sound. "I came away with the strong impression that it was, in fact, within my gestalt notion of what suitable nesting habitat is after having walked through dozens of places like this throughout the Sierra Nevada and in other parts of the owl's distribution throughout the West," Mr. Verner said.

Mr. Verner must have taken a course in Spotted Owl Psychology 101, or himself nested in trees, to come up with a statement like this. Junk science, indeed!!

You mean the government lies? (sigh) Most people on this website do not believe that. They call all the others conspiracy nuts or some similar name.

THe owls were always wiser than the jackasses who were pretending to save them.

Same old same stuff, enviros bend science to benefit their agenda. Taxpayer pays for bad science, everybody wins?

EPA rules will not change because of the enviro lobby is so powerful. They will pay off these companys and still keep the laws on the books. Anything to make a tree hugger happy
