I must be doing something right.

Yesterday, Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, Dennis Miller and Bill O'Reilly all joined their party in attacking me for having the audacity to believe what scientists have been saying for years -- climate change has an effect on conflicts throughout the world.

In other words: for believing in science.

Jindal is running a quiz on his website that asks, "who do you think is right?” posing my views on climate change against his own.

Santorum thinks it's "a disconnection from reality." And O'Reilly and Miller say that I'm a "waste of an apostrophe."

Well here's a quiz for ya: How many of the above people believe in evolution?

Zero.

How many of these people believe in climate change?

Zero.

And how many of these people support the work the EPA does to keep our planet safe?

That's right. Zero.

I want to send them a message: Stop denying science. Will you help me?

Add your name and tell Republicans that climate change is a serious threat that affects all of us -- and we won't stand by while they ignore it.

And O'Malley's platform puts it front and center, which I like.

3 billion people depend on the Indian Ocean monsoon cycle for their daily caloric intake. That cycle is terrifyingly vulnerable to temperature changes, and many of these 3 billion people live in countries with the Bomb. O'Malley gets this.

doing so, is probably a lost cause.

However I will sign his petition and give him credit for trying.

applied to these morons the better.

I like O'Malley and am glad he is running in this campaign.

You are a good advocate for him and tend to stick the issues which imo, is the best way to advocate for a candidate. I do read posts about him because while I was familiar with him and liked him a lot I confess that I do know know as much as I do about Sanders.
