At ScienceBlogs' denialism blog, Mark Hoofnagle bemoans the destructive consequences that befell scientific policy analysis after the 1995 elimination of the Office of Technology Assessment. Without this formerly 30-year-old federal office, he writes, “any member [of Congress] can introduce whatever set of facts they want, by employing some crank think tank to cherry-pick the scientific literature to suit any ideological agenda.” Stop complaining, he suggests, and start acting to push Congress to refund the OTA.
