Lies and science

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck have all declared victory in the global warming debate because it is snowing in Washington DC. They are screaming "where are you now, Al Gore?" They claim this record snow proves that global warming is a liberal hoax. Rachel Maddow had Bill Nye the science guy on to rebutt this. He was as incensed as someone as calm as he is, could be. He reminded us that there is a difference between climate and weather. The former is over a long period of time, and the latter is on a smaller scale. Examples of this would be the fact that it occasionally does rain in the desert, and it occasionally stops raining in the rain forest. But scientists have recorded the first decade of this millenium as the warmest on record. 2009 was the 2nd warmest year on record. We have film footage of the iceburgs receding, penquins and polar bears dying. What is so interesting is that these people: journalists and politicians believe they have more facts concerning this science than the scientists! Do they realize what kind of education these people have had to have to conduct these studies and coming to these conclusions? Where do they get the audacity to claim they are right and the scientists are wrong? Bill Nye said that all of us like to be told what the 7 day forecast is, and basically do not question it. In other words, they believe the science. Yet if those same scientists extend those forecasts to say a few hundred years, suddenly they are not only wrong, but engaged in a left wing liberal conspiracy.
So we have this select group of right wingers who are again going after the ignorant and stupid, and convincing them that again those evil, baby killing, gay loving, anti-God liberals are now trying to tell them that if they do not give up their Hemi's, the world will be destroyed. They get their agenda believed by preying on the fears and religious beliefs of the uneducated.
Scary.
