It's quite a panel. Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas), who drafted a resolution for Americans to "join together in prayer to humbly seek fair weather conditions" after a series of destructive tornados and droughts, is also on the House Science Committee, as is Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), who suggested "dinosaur flatulence" may have caused climate change 55 million years ago.

They're joined by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who has characterized climate science as an "international conspiracy," as well as Rep. Sandy Adams (R-Fla.), who supports having public-school science teachers offer lessons on "theories that contradict the theory of evolution."
