A blizzard of nonsense

[dcsmart]

Some Republicans are having great fun laughing about the recent snowstorms on the East Coast. They pretend that global warming would, if real, somehow eliminate winter. Therefore, the fact that we still have winter must mean that global warming isn't real. Somehow, "Snowmageddon" in DC trumps lack of snow in Vancouver, B.C., for the Winter Olympics, at least as far as U.S. political theater. (They're having to truck in snow for Olympic events!)

Senator Jim DeMint, R-S.C., he of "let's make health care Obama's Waterloo," tweeted that "it's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries ‘uncle.'" Another right-wing loon, Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, had some aides construct an igloo and label it "Al Gore's Home." Even some Democratic senators are claiming that the snowstorms in DC make it much less likely that any climate change legislation will pass this year, because it makes it more difficult to argue that global warming is an imminent danger.

1. That's why the

term was changed to "global climate change" - but the dimwits can't grasp the idea.

It's so frustrating.

2. The new one today is snow in all 50 states. nt

3. It would take some knowledge of science

for the light bulb to go on in the dimwit heads. But then again God created light . . .

4. I look forward to them all getting on the global warming bandwagon this Summer.

I mean, it gets hot in the Summer, that must be caused by global climate conditions, right?
