Climate Change or ET?

What's more likely - the earth gets ravaged by climate change or extraterrestrials? The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee thinks it would be extraterrestrials. It has held 15 hearings on space exploration alone, at least three of which have involved the search for extraterrestrial life. By comparison, the committee has held just two hearings devoted to climate change.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has held three hearings this session on climate change, while the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has not had a hearing devoted to the topic since 2012. The Senate Commerce Science and Space Subcommittee has had one hearing about climate change and four about space.

Our tax dollars at work.
