Shimkus Expands on his Theological lack of fear

My God, Rep. Shimkus is an idiot. Local news gave him an extended interview about his theological views, and how they bear on policy. Here's the video:

 

And here is a breif response to his core points:

"The climate change debate is based on the premise that the earth is going to be destroyed."

IDIOT.

"When the end times come, that'll be at God's hand, it's not going to be based on some faulty premise of carbon monoxide melting all the glaciers and flooding the earth. Of course, that's the genesis story."

IDIOT.

"Even if you believe in evolution, the climate has changed through history and it's going to continue. To think that man can control the world's temperature, I find very arrogant."

IDIOT.

"All we're asking for is the scientific theory to be presented - and it *is* just a theory. A theory is defined as an educated guess, and until they do that, it is not proven."

IDIOT.

I'll leave the explanations of idiocy as an exercise for the reader.

Meet the New Energy Chairman!

This genius is running for the Chairmanship of the Energy Committee:



He believes that man can't hurt our environment since God said that he would never send another flood to destroy the world. And he's going to be making policy that should be based on science.

Climate Science since 1956

An interesting video showcasing the understanding of Global Warming we've had since 1956.



It's just shocking that people aren't serious about this problem.  It's like the Is-Tobacco-Bad-For-You Debate, except in this case the pro-Tobacco scientists are winning.
