Will the Republicans hatred of science destroy the world?

[NJmaverick]

They hate evolution, they don't believe in global warming, and they are opposed to things like stem cell research. Now thanks to the global warming they are creating we are having record numbers of hurricanes and their intensity is greater than we have ever seen. Can we stop the Republicans before they destory our planet?

1. Republican's hatred of science will destroy them instead...

nay-sayers are never remembered.

The earth could not be flat forever and global warming cannot be denied forever.

2. Uphill battle at best

The "fallacy" of Global Warming is sacrosanct among Republicans.

They're absolutely not going to accept that hurricanes are worsened by a phenomenon that they "know" to be false.

4. I had a recent chat with a Pub from Seattle:Re GW: His answer: It happens

I said "what"??

"Yup, it happened before, its cyclic"

"But if it continues today...many people will suffer/die"

"God will find a way"

I was stunned...here was a semi rich dude, educated, comes to Hawaii yearly for vacations, and a cool aid drinker...

5. Oh, and it's "proven" to be false, too

Scientists are America haters, dontcha know. Billy Graham sez so.

3. The local wingnut . . .

. . . insists that global warming is caused by increased solar activity, which if partly true. But won't even consider the greenhouse gas effect. These people are stupid on purpose.

6. It's the republican mentality

They warp reality to fit their warped views. This is opposed to what normal people do, which is base their views on reality.

8. I think the current position held by the administration

is that Global Warming may be real, but it isn't caused by humans, and certainly not by corporate irresponsibility or pollution.

7. yes, along with Science's Blind Adherence To Materialism

Fundies on both sides, trying to squash progress and inquiry.

[Loonman]

9. No, just make it dumber than usual

This ID crap is ludicrous.

[leftofthedial]

10. it is the truth that they hate

11. Okay, first of all, America

is not the world. Stem cell research, for example, is continuing very nicely, thank you very much, elsewhere i.e. Canada, the UK, etc. Global warming is another story. North Americans HAVE TO stop using so much energy. We are just gluttons.
