In December 2008,
President-elect Barack Obama nominated Dr. John P. Holdren to be White
House Science Adviser. The White House Science Adviser heads the Office
of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), which “serves as a source of
scientific and technological analysis and judgment for the President
with respect to major policies, plans and programs of the Federal
Government,” according to the OSTP web site.

John
Holdren’s 40-year record of outlandish scientific assertions,
consistently wrong predictions, and dangerous public policy choices
makes him unfit to serve as White House Science Adviser. The Senate
should not confirm his nomination.
