Hmm, I wonder what major science/para science debacles of the last few years prompted them to consider taking this action?

Global warming/climate change, CO2 output studies/regulations, Whats perceived as "green"/whats really "green", Energy production/fuel source studies, What Califorina says/what reality actualy does.

Oh there is a big list of others too!

This is outrageous. Next thing you know they will be leaving accounting up to accountants, religion to the clergy and economics to economists. What is the world coming to?
