Kentucky Fried Brain Senator: No Global Warming b/c Mars’ temp. like Earth’s

Last week the denial of climate change continued. This time in the form of Kentucky State Sen. Brandon Smith (R).

In the continuing debate, or battle if you will, over climate change and new carbon emission regulations, the genius Kentucky Senator stated with complete sincerity:

“I don’t want to get into the debate about the climate change, but I will just simply point out that I think in academia we all agree that the, the temperature on Mars is exactly as it is here. Uh, nobody will dispute that. Yet there are no coalmines on Mars, there’s no factories on Mars that, that I’m aware of.”

Sorry Senator, but certain academic resources do not agree with you. Especially NASA, who’s breakdown of the planet’s facts list the average temperature on Mars at -81 degrees Fahrenheit. Compare that to Earth’s average temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit, and your numbers seem a little off.

1. And some.people will latch onto this "fact" because it fits what they want to believe.

Why are they never asked to cite a reference?

6. I'm thinking the reference would be John Carter.

2. Did he read the whole Barsoom series or just see the movie?

3. The folks electing this idiot must be as equally stupid

Scary!

4. He begins with 'we here in academia...' He owns a coal mine. That's academia?

5. Deserves its own new category of "Logical Fallacy"

I can't even imagine what other ideas this idiot has...
