Richard Muller and science the right didn’t want to see

….Muller and his team conducted a thorough review of all of the available information and discovered – wouldn’t you know it – that the scientific consensus is accurate. “Global warming,” Muller concluded, “is real.”

Remember, this research intended to prove the opposite. Muller and his team even took the most common arguments raised by climate deniers, putting them to the test to see if skeptics’ claims had merit.

But they still found that the scientists are right and the skeptics are wrong. “Our biggest surprise was that the new results agreed so closely with the warming values published previously by other teams in the US and the UK,” Muller and his team said.

The right, not surprisingly, isn’t pleased, especially after so many conservatives agreed to accept the results of Muller’s research.

But reality is stubborn, and doesn’t much care about the right’s preferences.

We knew that already.

What a maroon:

Why is this guy on TV?

Stu Bykofsky, a columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News wrote a piece on August 9, 2007 titled “To save America, we need another 9/11”.

In it, he wrote:

ONE MONTH from The Anniversary, I’m thinking another 9/11 would help America….

….What would sew us back together?

Another 9/11 attack.

The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda….

The rest of his mindless pabulum can be paraphrased: “9/11! 9/11! Unity!…short attention spans…dismay…Clap Louder!”

Eh, what a maroon.

Colbert via Atrios:

Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky wrote an editorial last month wrote a column entitled, “To save America, we need another 9/11.” He even suggested some targets for Al Qaeda, like the Golden Gate Bridge, Mt. Rushmore, and Chicago’s Wrigley Field.

Do not be so humble Mr. Bykofsky. You are clearly enough of a patriot that your house belongs on that list.

We are not worthy.
