Michael Bastasch at the Daily Caller has another anti-EPA fluff piece, this time regarding EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy's recent speech.
In talking about the EPA's report on the benefits of climate action, McCarthy said that "normal people" will win the climate change debate. Cue the disgruntlement, as climate deniers begin manufacturing outrage at the implicit suggestion that they're not normal people.
Guess what? They're not. Normal people don't cook up James Bond-esque conspiracy theories wherein the world's scientists are secretly colluding to crash the global economy and institute a new world order. Normal people don't send scientists envelopes with white powder in it. Normal people don't equate papal documents to the Unabomber's manifesto.
While some normal people do level the Marc Morano-esque "I'm rubber, you're glue" type of retorts, almost all of them are under the age of ten.
