Rick Perry to delight climate sceptics by running for president

[Starboard Tack]

Texas governor Rick Perry's bid for the Republican expected nomination has cheered climate sceptics who share his view that global warming is a 'phony mess'.
The climate sceptics can finally get excited about the 2012 election: Rick Perry, their candidate of choice, is about to officially throw his hat in the ring.
Perry calls global warming "all one contrived phony mess that is falling apart under its own weight." Unlike many of the other GOP presidential candidates, he hasn't expressed concern about climate change in the past, so he won't have to do any back-pedaling. Notorious climate denier Marc Morano is a big fan: "Based on climate views alone, anyone who is holding their nose voting for Mitt Romney because there's no other viable candidate will now rejoice to have an option with Rick Perry."

Great article. Perry, the climate change denier, suggests Texans pray for rain and says the BP Gulf disaster was "an act of God".

If this loon becomes POTUS, we can kiss our future goodbye. It is time to unify our party. Now!
