Susana Martinez Picks Harrison Schmitt, Climate Change Denier, to Head NM Energy Dept. (Barf alert)

In yet another move to cleanse New Mexico of any and all environmental regulations, green, clean, renewable energy initiatives and efforts to mitigate the growing impact of damaging climate change, GOP Gov. Susana Martinez today named a climate change denier to head New Mexico's Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department. She's cleansing so her big donors can dirty things up with abandon in the state, as never before.

Martinez has chosen former astronaut and senator from New Mexico, Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, aged 75, as a prominent partner in her planned environmental retreat back to the 1950s. Schmitt said as much, right out loud, at today's announcement of his nomination:

I think New Mexico's been ill-served in the past few years. It's very clear that energy-related jobs have been migrating away from the state of New Mexico, and it's time to make sure, in a rational way, that those jobs come back.

Rational. Right. According to the "rational" dictates of Martinez's fossil-fuel energy donors to make more money regardless of what they destroy in the process. Here's an article about some of Schmitt's nefarious connections to oil company-funded groups that work to undermine genuine climate science. By the way, Schmitt has never published a peer-reviewed paper on the topic of climate change. Get the picture?

The reason that "deniers" don't have peer reviewed papers is that the journals pretty much refuse to publish their papers (the Climategate e-mails document that bit of the scam). It's a nice little bit of circular logic.

BTW, how many peer reviewed "climate change" papers has Dr. Al Gore had published?

good question

You appear to have misunderstood. The peer reviewed “science” that climate change activists are so proud of were found to be fabrication and lies. My point is their vaunted peer reviews are not worth the paper they are written on. I probably didn't make this clear.

Ah...I misunderstood your reply. You are completely correct. Time for bead for this little one.

Good sign the adults are in charge again and the crying babies need to head out of the state.
