Obama on Rick Perry: "Governor Whose State Is on Fire Denying Global Warming."
It’s sad that there’s even the opportunity to mock such a disaster, but kudos to Obama for calling Perry out.
Texas A&M Climate Scientist Tells Rick Perry He's Wrong about Galileo
Using a global warming denier talking point that is completely backwards, GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry compared “climate skeptics” to Galileo recently. To anyone who knows anything about climate science or Galileo, Rick Perry was completely off on this analogy, and actually has it backwards.
Rick Santorum's Hypocrisy in Criticizing Rick Perry
Sure, saying that Rick Perry “ignores reality” is true. Heck, they guy is the governor of a state that just had its (and any US state’s) hottest summer ever, record-smashing drought, and tremendous fires, and yet he ignores the conclusive scientific proclamation that we are causing catastrophic climate change and need to get off of fossil fuels to stop it. I mean, can you ignore reality any more?!
However, Santorum seems just about as crazy and ignores the clear climate science we should all be acting on NOW as well. He said “There is no such thing as global warming” on the Glenn Beck show this June! Looney.
Jon Huntsman: Rick Perry "Out of the Mainstream" on Science
Well, I don’t think anyone who has any knowledge of science at all would disagree. Rick Perry (and anyone else) who denies that global warming is happening (and is caused by humans) is out of the mainstream.
Rick Perry Mistaken, Galileo Was a Liberal
Love this piece by Chris Mooney of Desmog Blog on Rick Perry’s ridiculous assumption that climate science deniers are like Galileo (I’ve written similar replies in the comments of our posts several times over the years), so reposting it in full here:

Rick Perry, Here's an Image for You..
Well, actually, I’ve got a few images I think Rick Perry should see, but this first one is the one that inspired me to write this post.
Rick Perry: Praying for Rain, Ignoring Climate Science
The sad thing is not that Texas Governor and potential presidential candidate Rick Perry is rallying his state to prayer for rain — prayer is all the state’s got at this point in the midst of this massive, harmful, record drought and heat wave. The sad thing is, Rick Perry and his GOP are doing nothing to prevent future heat waves and droughts like this or worse from doing even more harm. Climate science is clear and sound. It has been developed over centuries! However, fossil-fuel-funded Republicans like Perry are ignoring it and claiming it is a hoax to make a buck. I don’t think that’s very in-line with the teaching of Christ or any other religious leader. Since when was it moral to sacrifice the lives and basic necessities of billions so that you can make more money and have more power?
