He assumes NOAA is altering data and changing results simply because:

Question: Are Lamar Smith’s antics ultimately more harmful than Tom Cotton’s holding up the approvals of US ambassadors to Sweden, Norway and Bahamas? In Sweden’s case, the US has been ambassador-less since July.

Draw the graph, then go find data to fit. Heritage Foundation 101.

Yep, that’s exactly what I was talking about…I just explained it because most people haven’t heard of Lysenko and his actions in the USSR, so saying “Lysenkoism” doesn’t penetrate.
