presented bill johnson is a republican of ohio
and he went on herman canes radio show and talked about a recent the e_p_a_
hearing
uh... that he went to
and he said
he really turned into one other staffers many showed those indiaia you know
bugs
but he said quote
i said server let me ask you a question what is your background
uh... he said
i was on then senator
joe bodin staff
i've been on this committee staff in the senate
i said no what is your education background
he had a degree in international business or something soft
i said
have you ever taken a chemistry course
you ever taken physics course you ever take a geology course
he said no to all three of those
i said
well anyway really you know the first thing about science
how can you as an expert as an administrator of the e_p_a_ come and
tell me this panel the american people that the e_p_a_'s basing their roles on
sound science
because see i know that they're not figures i'm a scientist
i said
so you don't know the first thing in outside ends disingenuous for your
comment right up as yourself off as an expert in commenced
the american people that you're doing the right things
along
by about four
uh... but look at these that strong words and he's making it clear
i don't trust you even and that no you're a staffer at the e_p_a_
uh... even also you did was work with senator
but job i mean and
we're supposed to think you belong to the e_p_a_ now you don't have a degree
in science well uh... i dismiss your opinion
even though you're supposedly an expert
well boson for people decided to look into the background
well representative bill johnson
turns out but his statement that he's a science that he's as science major a
scientist
dole is leaving
to say the least
in nineteen seventy nine he graduated from troy university
with a degree in
computer science
then he went to the georgia institute of technology in nineteen eighty four
and graduated with a masters degree in
computer science
he spent his entire career
in information technology
that's got
nothing to do with it actual science like the scientific method
and you know the environment which is what the conversation is about
that look
we've just had put that in perspective for you guys the article i was reading
broke it down like this
that is no more of a scientist
than somebody with a political science degree for example
so you know was a political science agree
your uh... humble radio host here
i'm not a scientist
i mean i know a little bit about science from reading or goals about science
but i'm not a scientist
final session and of the definition
or the imagination of my scientist
but that's like me saying in the area by scientists and i know that there are
your argument is false
because you're raising
they were alive their arguments rely on
people are looking into what they're saying
when they talk they expect you to not do any research not to find out the truth
just to take what they say they tell you don't think any deeper
you know what is really about west point on this
revonda bill johnson
has taken more than three hundred fifty thousand dollars from the fossil fuel
industry
so battling it out when he goes into an e_p_a_ tearing it turns out that that is
the possibility of st
that's so shocking
i didn't expect that to happen
