“Here’s Global Warming’s beauty queen:”

Except for the clothing, this is no doubt what the theocrats who persecuted Galileo looked like. People ridicule those folks today and will ridicule the GW fanatics in the future.

Yes. "Anti-science-ists" come in all shapes and sizes.

Even Galileo was an "anti-science-ist" about some things.

Galileo refused to accept Kepler's scientific determination that the planetary orbits are elliptical, not circular.

Imagine that! Galileo let his belief, that planets needed to follow a "perfect" circular path, trump scientific evidence.

Galileo also refused to accept the fact that the moon influenced the earth's tides.
