Science is for elitists.

But the Wall Street Journal is supposed to be a newspaper for the elite. The comments on this piece, relentlessly blinkered and hateful though they may be, are on the whole grammatically correct and coherent. This is the elite end of the FoxNation population, and the elites are anti-science now too.

In my more dismal moments I think that the Right and their backers have so succeeded in tarnishing the image of science in general, and AGW studies in particular, that the public will never come back from the darkness.
