House Republicans held a committee hearing yesterday to consider Environmental Protection Agency’s budget request from agency chief Gina McCarthy. The discussion went about as expected, though the hearing was a reminder of why policy debates in Washington have become effectively impossible.

As Alec MacGillis reported, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) was on hand for the discussion, and he told the EPA chief, ”I know the president loves talking about global warming – and they’re canceling flights all around the country due to snow blizzards.”

Yes, according to Scalise, the #3 Republican leader in the U.S. House, snow storms in the winter undermine climate science. The far-right GOP congressman also seems concerned about “snow blizzards” – as opposed to the other kinds of blizzards that cancel flights?

MacGillis also highlighted the concerns raised by Rep. David McKinley (R-W.Va.), who “told McCarthy that she was, effectively, responsible for an epidemic of mental illness.”

"Snow blizzards"? As opposed to, what, the ones from Dairy Queen?
