Let no one say that Kentucky's lawmakers will not engage in the most heroic levels of dumb when it comes to climate change denialism. If there were an Olympics in derp, the Kentucky Lege would win gold in every possible event. They would be the Michael Phelps of dumb. Witness the recent meeting of their Natural Resources and Environment Committee, which featured criminal levels of dumb about dinosaurs, coal, and the temperature on Mars.
The loss of its magnetosphere didn&#039;t cause atmospheric thinning on Mars. Venus, like Mars, lacks a magnetosphere, yet it has retained a very thick and dense atmosphere. A big reason why Mars has such a thin atmosphere is because it has only a little over one third of the gravity of Earth, a consequence of being only half the diameter of our planet while also being composed of much less dense material. It is the second-smallest planet in the solar system and it has just 11% of the mass of Earth. <a href="http:\/\/www.universetoday.com\/22603\/mars-compared-to-earth\/" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.universetoday.com/22603/mars-compared-...">http://www.universetoday.co... <i> ~ from the nerd in the third row who is frantically trying to get the teacher&#039;s attention</i>
Yeah sure Mars is the same climate as Earth - if we&#039;re talking about Earth during the last Ice Age. Maybe a &quot;Clockwork Orange&quot; style viewing of Cosmos is in order for Mr. Smith.
Stuff=money from mine owners who cry poverty whenever someone suggests that improving mine safety might be a good thing. If mine owners don&#039;t give a fuck about the people who die young to make money for their bosses, why would they care about bees, trees or flooding somewhere.

um, when did the GOP die? How did I miss the fireworks and dancing in the streets?
But didn&#039;t the dolphins thank us for the fish, and leave?

They don&#039;t give a shit if today&#039;s workers die in the mines . . . and they care even less about the next generation.
Because Mars needs moms? womens?
Brave Helios, wake up your steeds Bring the warmth . . . on second thought, can you dial it down a bit?

Mars ain&#039;t the kind of place to raise a kid. In fact it&#039;s cold as hell.
