#1 $500,000 for a ten day ~~luxury vacation~~ fact-finding trip for Congress and their families. Good thing we're not in a recession or something.

#2 And we wonder why we have trillion dollar deficits.
You can't study global warming by visiting places. You study global warming by reviewing satellite data, and other aggregated data. Visiting individual places proves nothing.

#3 As many have said, what we experience is "weather". "Climate Change", or "Global Warming", are supposed to be the identification of trends over long periods of time. Taking a ~~vacation~~trip to these places is a good look at weather (at the ordinary citizen's expense), but it has nothing at all to do with climate, change or no. They need to be forced to refund every dime.
