Rick Santorum Takes On Bill Maher, Fails Hysterically

[GoLeft TV]

In some kind of ill-advised attempt to remain relevant, Rick Santorum felt that it was a good idea to go head to head with Bill Maher on this past weekend’s episode of Real Time. And when Maher confronted the GOP candidate about his position on climate change, it went exactly as you’d expect.

Here are the actual numbers,

Climate Scientist: 79% to 97% depending on expertize of the scientist agree man is having an effect on the climate.

Published Papers on the climate: 97.1% papers published by Climate Scientist agree man is having an effect on the climate.

Rick Santorum's numbers are coming from an anonymous blogger who manipulated the results of the study.

The reason for the falsehoods about scientist being in disagreement is to slow-down any action in dealing with climate change.
