When it comes to climate change, I prefer the more direct and accurate “global warming” because that’s what we’re looking at, and why should we have to apply political correctness to anything so dire and urgent? Just because we’re not all going to boil in our own sweat in a year or two does not mean that we are not facing extinction.
That said, Republicans have fought, first the very fact of global warming and second, that the cause is human activity. And they buck the simple truth that it’s us causing the coming catastrophic changes by uttering stupidity and doublespeak and generally making asses out of themselves.
Louie Gohmert is a Republican congressman from, of course, Texas. Now as far as I know, NASA wasn’t consulted by him and he makes it rather clear that he heard from someone that the moon’s orbit was changing along with Earth’s orbit around the sun. Well, so far he got it right: the Earth does orbit the sun, and the moon really does orbit Earth.
The problem came when, talking to a Forestry Service official about global warming, he asked if the Forestry Service could change the moon’s orbit as well as Earth’s orbit to combat “climate change”.
It seems like something Ted Cruz would ask, doesn’t it? Cruz has an IQ lower than room temperature, so he probably likes “climate change”and of course we know he prefers Mexico when it’s snowing in Texas.
Hey, Gohmert! Forget “climate change!” I think you have a problem with municipal water supplies in Texas, and maybe some testing is in order. Either that or Texas Republican politicians are just plain fucking stupid.
I’ll go with the latter.
