Forget about adopting a meaningful energy and emissions policy; these worthies not only won&#8217;t admit that climate change might present a problem to our country&#8217;s agriculture, infrastructure and public health, they&#8217;re unwilling to go on record as acknowledging that it even exists.

Unlike the urban legend of Alabama legislators declaring <em>pi<\/em> equal to three, today&#8217;s anti-science Republicans are all too real, and their readiness to ignore evidence and expertise when formulating policy is an embarrassment to America&#8217;s reputation, and a source of grave danger to our future as a nation.
