Where the heck is the commitment of the part of these people? If they REALLY, REALLY cared as they claim, they should be the first ones to step up to the plate to remove themselves from the "polluting the erf" equations. What? No volunteers? Another Ph.D. with out a clue. Into the wide open unarmed.

Worried about the crucial issue of global warming (or, as Plait calls it, reality)? A Republican victory at the polls, Plait warned, would mean put[ting] a cohort of science-deniers into positions of authority over the very science they want to trample. Come January, Ted Cruz (R., Texas) could be chairman of the committee on science and space. Your vote, Plait wrote gravely, quite literally affects the future of humanity. The good doctor needs a nice glass of whiskey and some relaxing music and to chill out! (no pun intended!)

The voters wanted to immanentize the eschaton. That’s all.

I have to wonder if mainstream “conservatives” actually believe in the exact same things the progressives do. They just think the government needs to be more pragmatic and ease it through at a slower pace.

By a sleight of hand, liberals claimed the mantle of science and have used it to prognosticate doom. Conservatives should not cede that ground. If we do, we are in for many more years of apocalyptic warnings from scientists who, like Plait, espy the waters rising, the weather weirding, and, through the hole in the ozone layer, a pale horse, and its riders name was Ted, and Hades followed him . . . LOL!

Yeah, and Nostradamus wrote about Scott Walker surviving that recall...

Isn’t Plait a little confused? The science-deniers were the ones who just lost the election,& they’ve been on the wrong side of real science for some time now.

This is simply a justification for progressives to seize power and nullify the recent election. A lot of left wingers are writing such justifications. Bloviating or will the Administration seize on something similar to the anticipated Ferguson riots or a natural catastrophe to ignore the election results?
