Obama’s Scientists
Matthew Yglesias —
A couple of additional Obama appointments broke last night. One is John Holdren from Woods Hole and the dread HKS as presidential science adviser. I wrote one two three posts about a talk I heard Holdren give in Aspen back in July. He’s a very intense guy on the climate change issue as well as being a very accomplished scientist.
Meanwhile Jane Lubchenco will head up the National Oceanographic and Marine Administration. NOAA is best known to me as the government agency that once ordered me to stop poking a dolphin corpse ...

... for the details, along with photographic proof that Holdren’s book, Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment , exists. Holdren really did say all that stuff, and he even lists the book in his cirriculum vitae . If he’s changed his mind about these things in the last 30 years, now might be a good time to say so. These days, Holdren’s focus is on global warming (or climate change, or whichever euphemism they’ve come up with this week). Which seems odd: If you’re worried about overpopulation, wouldn’t you want to encourage global warming? A nice flood would sure clear ...

The White House also released a statement to the Washington Times from Holdren’s co-authors Paul and Anne Ehrlich downplaying their book Ecoscience as an “encyclopedic textbook” from “a third of a century” ago. Just an archaic relic not worth paying attention to, la-dee-da. Funny. That’s not how Holdren’s own official curriculum vitae treats the book (hat tip - ...
