re: #2 Obdicut

The numbers are overall depressing. But the GOP part is really, really depressing.

Even if AGW wasn’t about to occur, even if we didn’t need public support for scientific endeavor to counter that, we would not be able to remain competitive in the world economy with one party embracing a rejection of science.

We need science. Oh boy do we need it.

AGW denial is heavily influenced by YEC and fundamentalist apocalypse visions.
