Republicans and Global Warming

I found this survey information on Think Progress
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/05/warming-13-percent/

National Journal has released a new “Congressional Insiders Poll,” which surveyed 113 members of Congress — 10 Senate Democrats, 48 House Democrats, 10 Senate Republicans, and 45 House Republicans — about their positions on global warming.

The results were startling. Only 13 percent of congressional Republicans say they believe that human activity is causing global warming, compared to 95 percent of congressional Democrats. Moreover, the number of Republicans who believe in human-induced global warming has actually dropped since April 2006, when the number was 23 percent.

Al Gore just won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with global warming. At the same time Republicans persist in their opposition to science.

I remember a time when the two parties debated ideas like the size of government and the role it plays in the lives of ordinary citizens. Now it seems the two parties debate whether science is real or not.
