Science the GOP can't wish away

Watching the raft of newly elected GOP lawmakers converge on Washington, I couldn't help thinking about an issue I hope our party will better address. I call on my fellow Republicans to open their minds to rethinking what has largely become our party's line: denying that climate change and global warming are occurring and that they are largely due to human activities.

National Journal reported last month that 19 of the 20 serious GOP Senate challengers declared that the science of climate change is either inconclusive or flat-out wrong.

I don't want anybody stupid enough to buy into that sort of bullshit in my political party, the dems can have him.

This debate is over as far as conservatives are concerned. The only debate left is how long the liberals want to look like IDIOTS and keep pushing this garbage.

Who knew the Washington Post had a section where the mentally ill and cognitively challenged could write for one another?!!!

It’s like the one guy said, environmentalists are like watermelons, green on the outside and red (commies) on the inside.

Hey, his name is Sherwood. When was the last time you took a Sherwood seriously?

[DarthVader]

No Sherwood its bad science that is being rejected!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why did they have to fake the data?

[RightGeek]

Ole Sherwood says “hide the decline”

Check out the wikipedia info on this green weenie. He serves currently on the Board of the bipartisan Alliance for Climate Protection chaired by former Vice President Al Gore.

He's as 5th column as "moderate" republicans come.

Well Sherwood, wese jes too dumb to understand the facts and science behind dat fancy global warming. We stupid folk think its all a socialist power grab hiding behind Americans’ good feelings toward nature. I guess if we was smart like you, we’d know shutting down the factories is good for us. We could all be government workers and the environment would be safe.

[Steamburg]

This douchenozzle is scamming to protect his job since he can’t seem to get reelected. The lying data faking b’strd hasn’t discovered that he is being dumped by his own leaders as they admit, “It ain’t about climate change, it’s about trying to redistribute wealth [to them].”

[Brett66]

If they won’t substantively acknowledge the corruption revealed by the CRU emails, why should anyone listen to another tone-deaf liberal bleating about AGW?

Since 2007, Boehlert has remained active promoting environmental and scientific causes. He serves currently on the Board of the bipartisan Alliance for Climate Protection chaired by former Vice President Al Gore

I call on Sheldon (I realize his name is Sherwood; it’s my special way of mocking intellectual midgets) to educate himself before commenting on science.
