One of the hilarious things about this saga that was not touched on in the Mother Jones article was that the House Republican committee that Muller's testimony was given to featured several climate "experts" who weren't scientists. One was an economist and the other was a professor of marketing! Muller was the only serious and respected scientist they could get that they thought would give the answers they wanted, and he threw them a curve. It is worth while to Google what Repub's have said about Muller. Before this testimony he was the best scientist working in America, and they would trust whatever he said. Since he's just another scientist who's afraid to be ostracized by his peers if he speaks the truth (speaking on an unrelated topic, Newt Gingrich suggested recently that Universities are expelling students for holding conservative views).
