Excellence in wingnut science!

This morning I was awake early enough to watch Fox & Friends become today's excellence in wingnut science winner.

Paraphrasing from the show. Steve Doocy:

Scientists are discovering that global warming is a hoax! The rise in temperatures is likely just part of a natural cycle and pollution actually makes things cooler. But the UN wants to make us take global warming as seriously as terrorism.

Then Brian Kilmeade chimes in to reitterate his position on global warming:

Yeah, like I really care about global warming when I get blown up by a terrorist!

Back to Steve

We're going to talk to Senator Inhofe who says global warming is all one big hoax. Meanwhile Prince Charles is bicylcing to work and using the train for his official visits

Gretchen:

Yeah, like that's going to do any good!

Fabulous. Here's a group of people seriously considering--on live TV--creating a worldwide umbrella of soot in outer space to counter warming temperatures, but when someone bikes to work? Laughable! Then Inhofe, the energizer bunny of global warming denial does his best at looking as dumb as he possibly can. Transcript and video here. What is it about him that he not only feels the need to do what big oil wants him to in Congress but also feels compelled to come up with the most ridiculous crap out of thin air? God I'm glad he'll no longer be chair of EPW come January.
