Paging Inspector Reichert

So rather than admit that world scientific opinion has determined that global warming is a serious threat, Dave Reichert has said he still needs to investigate it.

It's been a month since Reichert made his stunning pronouncement, so the Darcy Burner campaign has invited Reichert to report the findings of his "investigation" tomorrow at a community gathering in Bellevue.
Darcy Burner, congressional candidate in Washington's 8th district, is calling for international action on global warming and is inviting Congressman Dave Reichert (WA-08) to do the same.

Burner will address an expected crowd of 100 Project Hotseat volunteers about the need to take action to address climate change. Congressman Dave Reichert, who has also been invited to attend, remains unconvinced that global warming is caused by humans.

It has been exactly one month since Reichert announced he would be investigating global warming after a firestorm erupted when Reichert, a member of the House Science Committee, said he didn't yet believe in its existence.
The event will be tomorrow, Sat. Nov. 4, 2006, at Bellevue Downtown Park, 10201 NE 4th St. in Bellevue, according to the Burner campaign, and starts at 1:30 pm with something called "aerial art."

The election is almost over, so even if Reichert can't make it to the park tomorrow, voters in WA-08 deserve to know what conclusion he has reached.
