The Union of Concerned Scientists has to complain about the governments
undermine the quality of the scientific advisory system.  If they can't
convince the government fund their cooked up global scientific problems
they will be out of a job.  The problem is, when they need more money
they just cook up a new problem.  Viola, instant job security.

Now what would Wirt say?  That's right, "Lordy".

Despite their claims to the opposite, the Union of Concerned Scientists are
about as partisan as one can get.  One could call them the Union of
Concerned Socialists really.  If you check their web site you will find an
organization that believes that government control is the answer to every
problem.  I believe they can accurately be described as "watermelons".
