  1. Darrel Hart Says:

    For Hall of Shame: 114th Congress of the United States. Reason: For their repeated acts and statements against climate science, scientist, and clean new energy technologies, and for being out of step with the American public who by a majority in both parties support efforts to reduce CO2.
