Any politician who wants to engage in the scientific process is encouraged to do so. Politics of "it's costly or inconvenient" or I don't believe it because it is electorally tough to do" is not particularly helpful in picking the wisest path for the future of the planet we all share. It could actually be harmful or disastrous. Science is a process based on facts, critique, rebuttal, and mutual investigation.
