On July 21, 2005, Sir John Houghton testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Senators asked Sir John follow up questions for the record. Both questions and answers offer a window into the current intersection of climate science, policy, and politics. It is comforting to know that we have a senior scientist who is a devout Christian and can answer such questions with authority.
