Because Republicans won a majority in the House in the 2010 elections, climate change no longer exists. Hooray! Jim Sensenbrenner announced that Republicans will be getting rid of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming when they take over, so it held its last hearing today so everyone could sign each other's climate-change committee yearbooks or whatever. So why does this very important issue no longer need special congressional attention? It turns out global warming never existed! Whoops! Why didn't those silly Democrats listen to the Republicans? Here they are holding hearings about the future of the Earth itself, and the whole time our goofy planet wasn't warming up at all! What a hilarious blooper!
this day has been a non-stop stream of horrors. including the US section of 'the economist' whose editors seem to be having buyers remorse for the their right leaning inclinations.
thank the god of many eyes and probably cats we have the wonkette.
You know what I like about Republicans being in charge of Congress?
Its like they can't wait to put big target's on themselves, and without the Democrats to hide behind its that much more obvious who to aim the ridicule at..
A candidate or office holder's relative position on in an arbitrary political spectrum and desire to compromise or even completely abandon their views in the name of bipartisanship is far more important than whether or not their views are supportable with evidence or proof.
Global warming will affect food production, disease transmission, fish migration, infrastructure, insurance. It's not that we won't know what hit us. We will and that's pretty pathetic.
ok that's it for today. If somebody doesn't find a 'small boy rescued from dank basement of creationist, global warming denying, teabagging, republican preacher who serves on Children's Affairs Sub-committee' story, I will have to go to Star Magazine.
Next up: laws mandating toilets with 20-gallon flushes and light bulbs made out of hand-spun glass.
REFUDIATE SOCIALISM!

Oh they'll believe it...they just won't believe it was human caused. No harm, no foul, right?

Global warming can be fixed with tax cuts for the rich. It says so in the bible.

The GOP will reverse this decision once they realize how much "money" (dead seals and fish) can be gained from The Polar Bear PAC.
