ThinkProgress: Congressman Denies Manmade Climate Change, Calls It ‘An Agenda-Driven Science’ http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwpqDQrRo
Well, the science is agenda-driven, just like this article is agenda-driven, and just like all communication is agenda-driven. Of course, it is a flaw to admit he can't know the cause while denying the possibility of it being a man-made cause. Anyway, it has me wondering if there's any value in drawing attention to agenda. The congressman seems to use 'agenda' to dismiss views/theories. The writer of the article seems to do the same of the congressman, categorizing him along party lines. Anyway, this is an interesting snapshot of dismissal in the climate change argument.
