For some reason many Republicans have what I like to term as selective science. This means they only believe in the science that agrees with or directly helps them. Since Republicans have a soft spot for Big Business maybe it would be helpful if one of the companies they trust with science, like Pfizer, points out that the scince that saves their lives in the operating room is the same science that came up with wacky ideas like evolution and global warming. Unfortunately for these people just believing in something doesn't make it true. If it did we Sarah Palin would be VP right now and we could cure cancer just by believing it doesn't exist.
Global Warming has been a hot topic of debate recently with a clear division between those who understand scince and those that don't. Much to the shagrian of my Furriners collegue, I have given up on debating Global Warming and decided to focus on the cause of Global Warming: CO2. Excess CO2 is not good for humans and the plant life that sustains us so my question to the Global Warming haters is what do you love so much about CO2?
There is a government web site (www.airnow.gov) set up to specifically inform people about the quality of the air in their area. In the midwest right now the air quality is not good for people in sensative groups with even a small section that is not good for the general population. When you fight against Global Warming you are fight against these people and their quality of life. You are fighting for cheap energy and against people. I would bet that most of these people claim to be Pro-Life and yet to save a few bucks at the pump they are willing to sacrafice the weaker among us.
The problem is that until their doctor tells them they are dying because of poor air quality Republicans will insist CO2 is fine. The irony is that if we do nothing the only chance these people will have of surviving in the future is evolution.
