The Republican Party is the “party of science deniers,” a top House Democrat said Monday.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), an ardent proponent of climate-change legislation, criticized Republicans for their attempts to block the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating greenhouse gas emissions during a speech at the Center for American Progress Monday.
“I’ve never been in a Congress where there was such an overwhelming disconnect between science and policy,” Waxman, the former chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said.
“Republicans in Congress have become the party of science deniers, and that is profoundly dangerous,” he said.
Waxman lamented the growing divide between liberal Democrats and Republicans on climate change, accusing the GOP of ignoring the consensus among scientists that human activity is contributing to warming.
“The gulf between what science tells us and what the governing party in the House believes makes it difficult to find common ground,” he said, adding later, “The Republican party is increasingly the anti-environment party.”

Nostrildumbass has spoken.
Tilting at windmills, literally, is not science.
Sure you were, Schnozzboy.
The last one.
LMAO what a great description.
The Science of "Complaining" about the Weather!
‘Science Denier’??
Nope - I’m a Waxman Denier —
He doesn’t really exist - he’s just the light of Uranus reflecting off of the clouds of Unicorn Flatulence that collects in some California Congressional Districts....
And Waxman believes in faux science. His stupidity get’s converted to policy, which the rest of the country then pays the price for.
“I don’t care who you are, that’s just funny right there!”
Dems - the party of Christ deniers....
Democrats! The party of science manipulators!!
LOL. Our current energy policy is the result of Democrat party “science.” Look where it has gotten us. Rolling blackouts, expensive gas, stupid electric cars that no one wants, windmills that don’t produce power reliably, solar panels which don’t work at night...
They’re correct! I have never believed in gravity.
Waxman is nothing but a shyster lawyer. He has no idea what science is. A consensus of government climate scientists, whose income depends on being politically correct, means nothing.
I know science and the whole man-made climate change is a fraud.
"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:" (I Timothy 6:20)
The Democrat Party is the party of science politicizers.
Nostrildamus would have been one of the high priests back in the dark ages killing scientists who said the earth was round.
