Three senior House Democrats asked U.S. teachers Monday to destroy a book written by climate scientists challenging the environmentalist view of global warming.
The Democrats were responding to a campaign by the conservative Heartland Institute copies of the 2015 book, Why Climate Scientists Disagree About Global Warming to about 200,000 science teachers. Democratic Reps. Bobby Scott of the Committee on Education, Raúl M. Grijalva of the Committee on Natural Resources, and Eddie Bernice Johnson of the Committee on Science, Space and Technology all issued a statement telling teachers to trash the book.
Public school classrooms are no place for anti-science propaganda, and I encourage every teacher to toss these materials in the recycling bin, Scott said. If the Heartland Institute and other climate deniers want to push a false agenda on global warming, our nations schools are an inappropriate place to drive that agenda.
The books three authors all hold doctorates and taught climate or related science at the university level. The book was written by former Arizona State University climatologist Dr. Craig D. Idso, James Cook University marine geology and paleontology professor Robert M. Carter, and University of Virginia environmental scientist Dr. Fred Singer.

Democrats = New American Nazi Party.
“Raul Grijalva of Arizona is a Marxist. He is also a very stupid individual who manages to be reelected thanks to Arizona gerrymandering.”
Another reason for term limits.
Brown shirt?
Looks more like a brown sausage casing.
Lol!
I can’t say what I think he truely is, on line on FR. If I did, I, would get banished from FR for life.
LOL! Yeah, I got a 3 day suspension one time for something I did or said here. Like nicotine withdrawl.
Because that is what the left does.
OOoh, let’s have some book burnings too. That’s soooo European!
1984 George Orwell
They should have come up with this idea a couple days sooner. Could have run a double feature:
1984
Fahrenheit 451
So their idea to combat Global Warming is to start fires? Irony is very ironic.
We live in interesting times; and, yes, history's habit of repeating itself is alive and well.
Scott... Grijalva... Johnson... Solid americans. I need to learn more about these intellectual science giants.
Telling teachers to trash books? How third grade bolshevik of them.
I don't know if that was their intention but realizing that these are American citizens (CINOs?) , elected by fellow Americans to represent them made the hair on my arms stand on end...
Freakin' unbelievable!
After 16 years of FR, if there is one thing of which I'm certain it's that overwhelmingly, Freepers are readers.
I wouldn't be here otherwise.
Except for our national current version of big brother, trolls, Soros/Hillary/Obama progressives and their lingering bureaucracy, that is, and we can throw in the barely literate sub 75 IQ types.
They start by burning books, and end by burning people.
Gooberment schools teach #FakeScience.
Home school!
