The Fox/right-wing spin on this story was ridiculous, but of course scientists have to hold themselves up to a higher standard than the paid shill deniers and their propaganda machines.

I'm pushing for a "scopes monkey trial" type action, where deniers and scientists can face off in court, everyone see the evidence, and then our kids can be taught properly in schools and we adults can start looking for solutions.
