Roger Pielke, Jr.:
"Wow. When policy makers and experts shape an analysis to suit a political agenda some people have been known to throw around terms like a 'war on science'. Somehow I doubt that we’ll hear any concerns about a 'war on economics' being waged by the state of California.;-)
More seriously, what is going on here is that advocates for certain policies face temptations to present those policies in the best possible light in order to increase the chances that the proposed actions will be adopted. As we’ve argued here for a long time, such biased analyses can be found across issues and the political spectrum, even in the case of California’s carbon policy."
