Today we have a special video edition of the Denier Roundup!
Showing just how eager everyone is to mock Senator Snowball, the White House has joined in Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's fun. Senator Whitehouse's riff is great, pointing out that when it comes to climate change, you can believe NASA and every scientific society... or the senator with the snowball. You can believe the US Navy... or the senator with the snowball. You can believe the pope and the CEO of Shell... or you can believe the senator with the snowball.
In a preview of a VICE interview with VP Joe Biden, Vice President Biden—when asked about Sen. Inhofe's antics—called climate denial"close to mindless" and "like denying gravity." Biden continued with an expression from his father that we find quite apt: "reality has a way of intruding." To illustrate that point, Biden pointed to Superstorm Sandy, which made clear the need to begin planning for "another one of these storms, and another, and another, and another."
Hopefully this dismissive attitude towards deniers will continue to snowball.
