Republicans Attack Climate Change Science by Comparing It to Religion

[LongTomH]

Republicans have finally twigged to the fact that people aren't buying the "I'm not a scientist" schtick, so they've had to find a new one. From The New Republic:

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum demonstrated the line in a speech on Thursday. Santorum, who uses his religion to justify policies such as discriminating against gay people and outlawing abortion in all circumstances, accused President Barack Obama of being motivated by the so-called religion of environmentalism. “[Obama] is against fossil fuels, for his own, in my mind, quasi-religious reasons, which is not a rationale," Santorum said. "If someone would go forward and put forth a religious idea as to how we should regulate the environment, and it was based on a Christian or other types of religious (ideas), they would be condemned up and down."

Similar remarks seem to be circulating within the GOP.

Even South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the Senate’s few Republicans willing to acknowledge climate change exists, made the dogmatic comparison in a speech last week: “The problem is Al Gore's turned this thing into religion."

You just can't make this shit up!!!!!
