Doesn't really matter. A lot of people have tied global warming to a
political ideology. Its too bad that science has now been so
politicized that facts supporting one view or another are shouted down
due to politics instead of their appropriate scientific worthiness.

Does the term Lysenkoism ring a bell?

An interesting analogy you pick. The government had a political
agenda, so they adopt a wacko pseudo-science point of view and used
that to deny the good science adopted in the rest of the world. In
the end it set back Soviet agriculture 50 years.

So how much do you think we were set back by Bush's denial of Global
Warming?
