re: #18 Charles

That’s true, but the problem is that what he’s saying here is totally mainstream Republican thinking. It’s not just Pawlenty — it’s ALL of them. Even Huntsman, who doesn’t outright deny the existence of climate change, is saying there’s no pressing need to do anything about it.

The GOP as a whole has taken a stand against science in two very critical areas — biology and climatology. The implications of this stance are very disturbing.

Don’t forget geology as well..unless it is for finding natural gas laden shale beds that can be frakked. Young Earth Creationism is a complete rejection of geology.
