God Help Us All

Remember: These questions are being asked by GOP members of the House Committee On Science, Space, and Technology (the relevant part of the video starts at about 2:48):


It occurred to me as I was watching the video that nobody could possibly be that stupid, not even radical right-wing Republicans.

I think what is happening here is that these House GOPers know they are on the wrong side of this climate change issue and they are intentionally acting as stupid as possible in order to provide themselves some cover while they do the bidding of Big Oil. Then -- when the whole thing goes to shit -- they can simply say that they aren't scientist so it could not possibly be their fault.

Indeed, some Republicans are already using this "I'm No Scientist" defense.
