And yes, that was a supposedly sane adult who made that statement. One who was elected more than once as a member of the House of Representatives from my home state, no less. And now he's running for the Energy and Commerce committee chairmanship.
Even if you take issue with the concept of global warming, I find it difficult to believe that any GW opponent with two brain cells to rub together would want Shimkus representing their cause in Congress. You'd get better results - and more logical thinking - from a gibbon.
