Beyond a reasonable doubt, 87 percent of Republicans are ignorant fools

By Michael J.W. Stickings

According to Think Progress, referencing a new National Journal poll, only 13 percent of Congressional Republicans think that "beyond a reasonable doubt... the Earth is warming because of man-made problems".

Aside from the Inhofe-like conspiracy theorists who think it's all a big hoax, perhaps the most irresponsible political position anyone can take today, some of those 87 percent of Republicans must have been held back by that "beyond a reasonable doubt" qualifier. But come on. If you don't think that human activity is responsible for global warming "beyond a reasonable doubt," you're an ignorant fool. There's no other way to put it. Or, rather, there's no way to put it nicely. You've got your head up your ass. There's no doubt about it.
