Asshat extraordinaire Sen. Jim DeMint tries to link recent snow to diss Al Gore

DeMint in a moment of thought realizing he is a swine

All you need to prove that Climate Change deniers are essentially dumb as a bag of rat turds is when they confuse recent weather patterns with overwhelming scientific facts about Climate Change.

Of course, my response to these people is that they don't understand 5th grade science that "weather" is not the same as "climate". Add that these anti-intellectual, anti-science (and usually religious superstitionalists) half-wits somehow think they are smarter than thousands of international scientists at hundreds of scientific and engineering academies, scientists and climatologists at NASA and more. Yeah, what do they have on pinheads like DeMint or the college dropouts like Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh...

So here's what the guy who is holding up approvals for America to fight terrorism because he's against people making a decent living:

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on Tuesday used the D.C. snowstorm to make a political jab, saying that it provides evidence for global warming skeptics.

The conservative senator took to Twitter on Tuesday amid reports that the area is due to receive another 10 to 20 inches of snow this week:

It's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries "uncle"

Some conservatives have echoed DeMint's sentiments that the snowstorm should poke holes in evidence backing global warming.

DeMint took direct aim at the former vice president, who is one of the foremost proponents of government action to counter global warming.

Granted, anti-evolution creationists like DeMint are living proof that they're not into science. That's complicated. DeMint also likes to say "pregnant unwed mothers and homosexuals should not be teachers".

1. Meanwhile, Vancouver is having one of it's warmest winters ever.
These people can't buy a clue. Weather is not climate, duh.

5. Huffpo had this piece
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/09/washington-times-february_n_455199.html

Reading the twitter remarks makes me despair for our country and our world.

There are actually people who think this snow storm was "created by god" just to prevent a committee meeting on climate change.

The stoopid... it HURTS.

7. Warmer atmosphere -> carries more moisture -> more snow fall and more severe hurricanes.
Meteorology 101.
