I call ‘lies’ on USGS claims on oil in Arctic

The United States Geological Survey is claiming the Arctic could contain as much as one-fifth the world’s remaining oil and gas reserves.

Given that the Bush Administration has already proven itself the most anti-scientific in modern history, and is determined to leave a George W. Bush “legacy” of a final, countdown orgy of antiscience and politicization of science executive orders and bureau and agency rule makings that will make the previous 7.5 years look like a piker’s effort, why the hell should we believe the USGS on this?
