Pennsylvania Republican state Sen. Scott Wagner was out in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as the keynote speaker for a natural gas advocacy event. The gubernatorial hopeful wanted everyone to know that while he is no scientist, he was also a terrible science student.
“I haven’t been in a science class in a long time, but the earth moves closer to the sun every year–you know the rotation of the earth,” Wagner said. “We’re moving closer to the sun.”
He added, “We have more people. You know, humans have warm bodies. So is heat coming off? Things are changing, but I think we are, as a society, doing the best we can.”

I must have really hit my head on something there when I fell off my chair because I thought for a second that a grown adult was telling a room filled with other adults that climate change and global warming is happening because the earth is moving closer to the sun and there are more people with bodies at 98 degrees.
