I've never really understood how Americans can be so anti-science when science is what has made this country great. One of the problems with denying that global warming is taking place and that runaway CO2 production by humans is helping to warm the planet is that the consequences are here and getting worse. One of the predictions from global warming scientists is that the warming was going to start melting frozen methane, which when released into the atmosphere is 30 times more potent than CO2 when it comes to heat trapping, which means global warming is about to accelerate even further than it has already.

And yet, the GOP would have us ignore all of this, despite the already manifest consequences. It's another reason why the GOP loses credibility with intelligent, educated people. Embracing ideas like Creationism over evolution and denying global warming just seems stupid and ignores the latest science. It's nothing short of the dumbing down of America.
