Anyone literate with access to the resources of a modestly equipped
public library can readily check that "that woman running NOAA" is Dr.
Jane Lubchenco, who holds an endowed chair in Marine Biology and is a
Distinguished Professor of Zoology at her institution. She has done
highly esteemed research in a number of areas, among them climate
change and biodiversity, is the recipient of a dozen honorary degrees,
was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship, and is a member of the National
Academy of Sciences. Her outspokenness in airing her concerns about
climate change and about the state of the oceans has made her a
lightning rod for criticism from that segment of the right-wing press
that elevates ideology above fact, as Elizabeth habitually does.
Post by elizabeth weiris she fibbing about the oil plumes in the Gulf?
Huh? What -- apart from her usual paranoia -- induces Elizabeth to
suspect that that Lubchenco is "fibbing"?
Post by elizabeth weirDid you retire from NOAA because of her?
Huh?! What *on earth* -- apart from her usual uninformed paranoia
-- induces Elizabeth to suspect that Art retired from NOAA because of
Lubchenco?!
