Climate Roulette

The US House of Representatives is taking up a bill to limit the ability of the government to study climate change and its effects.  I can't believe I just wrote that sentence.  The same idiots who think nothing of spending 35 million taxpayer dollars per copy of a fighter plane that can barely fly, now want us to stick our heads in the sand until it is too late to do anything about climate change.  Of course admitting the reality of said change is poison to most Republicans, so why not gag the prophets of doom and gloom.  After all, most of us who are now alive will not have to deal with the worst of what's coming.  If there is a hell, most of our descendants will probably be hoping this generation is there.  As blizzards rage over the Midwest, drought stalks California and spring seems like a vague promise in the East, the craziness of weather events around the world should be grabbing our attention, not diverting it.  Thankfully, the Senate and White House will ensure this idiotic bill will never be more than a talking point.   May the Flying Spaghetti Monster help us if the Republicans ever control all three branches of government.   I don't think Monty Python could do justice to the comedic disaster that would ensue.
