North Carolina Legislator Proposes Bill To Make Climate Science Illegal

This is a link to a video of Stephen Colbert's comedic report on an effort in North Carolina to outlaw the use of climate science reports on North Carolina's coastal areas.  One suspects that this might be outdone by bill to make tides illegal in the Carolina's.  Colbert's video is very funny, but it demonstrates the extremes that will be taken by GOP politicians who cater to the faith system that the GOP has developed in its base.  Much of the US experienced the highest deviation from normal temperatures in our history.  Much of Europe suffered from the extreme winter cold while the US had record high temperatures.  Climate scientists have predicted extreme deviations from normal weather patterns for years.  My cousin in Florida, who is a fervent Tea Party member, told me that a cold spell in Florida last year proved that climate change was wrong.  She believes that climate change is a liberal hoax.  It is an article of faith in her group.  Politicians that affirm her faith will get her vote.
