Negotiations on an international climate deal are scheduled for December, and a couple of the Republicans' top climate change deniers in Congress aren't going to let Barack Obama and a bunch of scientists ruin America.
It's the pressure of ideological conformity. We humans are much more susceptible to social pressure than we like to think. You spend all that time surrounded by people saying climate change is a hoax, you agree with them on everything else, and the people who disagree, disagree with you on so much else. It's not that surprising people who are so insulated fall in line.Really, this just highlights how weird is the modern alignment of religious conservatives and corporate interests.
When Mrs Pixelz went to Paris, I called her hotel using my best high school French: "Le salon de Mademoiselle Pixelz s'il vous plait". And they invariably answered, "Yes sir, I'll connect you."
They don't want the family at their Thanksgiving table to feel awkward if they were to talk about science and uppity things like that. It's much easier if everybody can absent-mindedly sit around after dinner scratching their butts and complaining about their various flavors of victimhood and the the evil gummint.
The only sense I can make of a religious rejection of Global Climate Change is the notion that it's arrogant to think that man has the ability and power to fundamentally alter and harm the earth - because, you know, God wouldn't let that happen.....
I only speak French when I am very drunk. At least, I've been told that what comes out of my mouth sounds like French.
Sen. James Inhofe, chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, warns that he may have to go to Paris
No way this dipshit owns a Passport???!?!

Don't worry! He's flying over a chuckwagon full of beans, rancid bacon fat, corn meal and all the fixings!
Excuse my French, but... fuck this ignorant asshole.

Or the other people pat him on the head and give him a balloon to play with while the grown-ups talk.
Hey asshole. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, global anthropogenic climate change is happening. The Science, she don't lie.
I'm down with that as long as everyone hits him at least once with a snowball.
Will he bring his own Liberty Fries?
Wait till he finds out it's full of Frenchmen.
Where's a coupla shoes when you need them?
It's part of Sharia law, apparently.
They just want a taxpayer-funded trip to Paris. Fuck, if anyone wants to pay for me to fly to Paris, I'll tell them that gravity is a fucking hoax.
