What’s wrong with this picture? The climate change denier demanding an apology from Obama for science research actually sits on the House science committee.

Agriculture takes up 40% of the planet’s surface, shaping it as surely as an ice age.

Conservatives are wrong, and science shows them to be wrong.

The GOP has famously opposed the facts behind climate change on nearly every possible front, citing little more than outdated, corporate-bought, dogmatic opinion to back its case against reality.

In a recent appearance, former president Bill Clinton remarked that we in the United States ‘look like a joke’ when compared to the vast majority of educated nations in regard to the GOP’s criticism of climate science (video below).

In a subsequent interview on Sean Hannity’s radio show, Bachmann swiftly back-peddled her claims by stating she has ‘no idea’ whether Gardasil can actually cause mental retardation and that she was merely ‘reporting’ what her supporter had told her.

Following the President’s announcement on Friday of his new fuel standards, Congressman Issa filed letters with executives of every major auto company in the country. Letters that apparently alerted them that an investigation is pending.
