Minnesota GOP, a hot-bed for climate change skeptics

Last week we posted a video of Minnesota GOP candidate, Michele Bachmann making her comedic debut as a climate change "skeptic." Now less than a week later we have found footage of another Republican candidate in Minnesota, Bill Cullen, going on about "sunspots" and "global cooling."

I don't know if this is a case of two election candidates singing from the same song sheet, or an overzealous "youtuber" trying to make a point. Or maybe, just maybe, it is something in the GOP kool-aid.

If anyone out there knows Cullen or Bachmann, maybe you could pass along this piece on sunspots and this piece on global cooling written by our friends at realclimate.org, a commentary site run by actual, real live climate scientists.

About the climate cover-up

About the climate cover-up

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
