They don't understand science. They just think it's another 'faith'.

You see it all the time from the AGW deniers when they talk about the 'acolytes of Gore', or 'global warming dogma'. Go on any 'skeptic' site and do a search on religious terms like those and you'll see a theme emerge.

We have to survive this era of fucking stupidity. Hopefully, there will be laws against the idiots having a say in policy decisions.
