Um, you do realize of course that such consistency would offend Cheney's buddies in the awl bidness, and we can't have that.

I get the feeling that when little Scottie broke curfew, he returned to the Walker residence with his eyes closed. I'm sure it fooled his preacher daddy.

This may be a repeat question - I haven't read all the comments. Isn't this, uh, what's that word, censorship? This is a government-run website! What's next, a good ol' fashion book burning? What is the new term for this, website burning? There has to be a catchier phrase than that. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

This is accurate, but I also imagine there will be a bit of "god's wrath upon the liberals," remarks going around. Some of them already blame hurricanes on homosexuality. They will never accept the scientific connection because it implies that maybe, just maybe, we are responsible for own destiny.

well, seeing how under these idiots industry is dying as well, perhaps the Republican induced poverty will affect climate change in the right direction despite their intentions. Look at Pennsylvania, no steel mills at all polluting the environment anymore thanks to the rich moving all industry to China.

Same here. It hit 12C yesterday and poured rain all evening. Eight inches of snow turned to zero in 24 hours.Parenthetically, that's why 'global warming,' while a convenient and more or less accurate name, doesn't tell the whole story. Adding energy to the atmosphere doesn't just make it warmer, it makes it more chaotic as well, so we get these weird weather patterns and nastier storms, and winters that can be COLDER... when they're not being mild.

but, as long as mayonnaise is still $1.29 for 55 gallons at walmart, they'll manage to struggle through it.

SO THE WHOLE WISCONSIN GOVERNMENT IS A "SAFE SPACE" FOR ANTHROPOGENIC CLIMATE CHANGE DENIERS! Nice to know.

Considering that his own daughter has claimed Climate Change as part of her first lady duties (what ever the fuck, they are weird) and he has not yet changed any thought cell on it, I doubt the influence of a buncha guys who will make money whether or not there is clean water and snow in canada will have any impact.

Poor little things. Nature is moving on with or without you. Just ask ol' King Canute how the tide thing went.
