If you ever had doubts about whether many of the arguments Democrats make are based in reality, or if the Republicans really had a corner on that market, take a gander at a little sidebar published in today's Nature magazine (subscription required):
NUMBER CRUNCH
90% is the degree of certainty that global warming is being caused by human activity, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s fourth assessment report.
Yes, yes, you already knew that, but check out what Congress thinks (after the fold)...
95% of Democrats who responded to a limited poll of both parties in Congress said they believed that it has been proved beyond reasonable doubt that
human activities are warming the planet.
Soo, so far so good, what about our friends across the aisle....
13% is the proportion of Republicans who responded who share that view.
Yes folks, that's 13%
Any questions?
