Actually I've read many of those entries whenever I've had a chance to eat lunch. It's a thoughtful blog you and co-hosts have here. And yes, I would agree that the current hue and cry emanating from some stakeholder, civil society, or special interest groups, whichever characterization one prefers for them, has a great deal to do with the upcoming G8 summit. Dr. Pielke,

Lately it seems that we have been consumed a bit by the climate issue -- no doubt related to its prominence in the upcoming G8. But we do have more commentary on science policy issues more generally here: http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/science_policy_general/index.html http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/rd_funding/index.html Kerry- Thanks for your comments.

I have recently been engaging in a dialogue with a correspondent on another, ostensibly, science blog who insisted that a passage from this exact same speech demonstrated Rep. Boehlert's "thinly veiled contempt for research scientists". Whereas, a dispassionate review of Rep. Boehlert's legislative record on the topic would illustrate that, along with the likes of Rep. Rush Holt, he is actually one of the strongest proponents of science funding on the Hill. I am left with the impression that the correspondents knee-jerk attack on Rep. Boehlert's speech had entirely to do with the (R - NY) that follows his title. An interesting choice of a topic to blog, Dr. Pielke.
