If you click on the screenshot below, you’ll go to a short clip of Stephen Colbert taking apart Republican climate-change denialists as only he can. (Note: I’m not sure whether this clip can be seen outside of North America—or even in Canada). If it’s slow, try clicking here.

I am so sick of denialists’ claim, “I am not a scientist.” Indeed they’re not, but they could give some credence to the scientific consensus, which is overwhelmingly that human activities are a major contributor to global warming. After all, these Republicans and other denialists trust the consensus of scientists on other matters, like the efficacy of antibiotics and of GPS devices.
