Sensenbrenner projects “fascism” and “fraud” onto scientists, is rebutted at hearing" Introduction: Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisconsin) channeled the reckless spirit of the late Sen. Joe McCarthy in an effort to lead a December 3 House global warming committee hearing toward a witchhunt based on e-mails stolen from the Climatic Research Unit in the U.K.  Sensenbrenner essentially accused the climate scientists of “fascism” and suggested that a scientific assessment that included the CRU global temperature record among its many sources is part of “a massive international scientific fraud.”  Witnesses John Holdren and Jane Lubchenco, leading Administration science representatives, countered with cool reason.  Committee chairman Ed Markey and Rep. Jay Inslee hit back harder.
