"SNIP..............

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders mocked the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space & Technology for tweeting a Breitbart article suggesting that global temperatures were in a “plunge” — despite scientific consensus saying the opposite.

On Thursday, the official Twitter account of the Republican-led committee sent out a link to the right-wing media outlet in a tweet that read, “Global temperatures plungy. Icy silence from climate alarmists.”

...............

The committee’s 38 members are in charge of all energy, environmental, marine, civil aviation and astronautics research and development. This includes oversight of NASA, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the FAA, the National Science Foundation and FEMA.

...............

Sanders joined one-time rival Hillary Clinton in publicly calling out the nefarious involvement of the right-wing misinformation outlet, Breitbart News. Since president-elect Donald Trump’s gold-encrusted entrance into the GOP primary, Breitbart has suddenly skyrocketed to a level of prominence within Trumpworld and the larger Republican Party that can only be rivaled by Rupert Murdoch’s right-wing media empire (Fox News, Wall Street Journal).

3. House Committee of Pseudoscience is more like it

They have about as much legitimacy science-wise as cutting a chicken open and looking at the guts to divine the future and using that Breitbart article is just the latest example of it. The Democrats should quit that panel as long as these quacks have control over it because they're just tokens who have no power.

4. They're like their minions. Proud of their ignorance.

5. Stupid fuckers.

There's little doubt about where this lunacy is going.
