So I Guess New Jersey Fats IS Running

Global Climate change is a fact.  There is consensus (that is a overwhelming majority of scientists) that say man is the leading contributor to this.  But as Republican stalwarts attack science and experts, politicians running for higher office cannot admit the truth.
.
If you admit that you believe science you are "supporting the elites".  Corporate interests in both parties are fighting the truth with lies. This didn't work for smoking when most people stopped smoking.  It works for Global Climate change because everyone uses hydrocarbons and the "save the earth" campaign is full of nags.  It is easier to ignore what is happening, than try to change the inevitable.  So we bury our heads in the sand.  Democrats "care", but we don't really do anything. Honestly, in New York Far Left Liberal designers whine about the new light bulbs and stock up on the energy wasting ones because the light bleeds the sofa colors.  (Really- I swear that was a quote from a designer in the New York Times!)
.
Most sane people know we can't do anything about, but dyed in the wool Republican Primary voters have just decided they don't believe science anymore.

It is cute with evolution (who cares really), but a disaster with Climate Change.  And by disaster, I mean "freak tornadoes kill hundreds in Joplin Missouri, flooding in Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, & Louisiana, droughts in Russian and Chinese wheat growing regions, starvation in very poor areas due to increasing cost of basic food" disaster.  Not "wow-it's-a-hot-one" disaster.
.

Now, New Jersey Fats, Gov. Chris Christie, has decided to withdraw New Jersey from the New England regional group to lower greenhouse gas emissions.  Oh the contortions Republican Presidential candidates have to go through.  If it wasn't so cluster-fuck funny, it would be sad and pathetic.
