Who still believes in global warming?
So I was blissfully snoozing away in my ex-blogging slumber, when a sudden ruckus on the internet woke me up. Evidently some anti-science thinktank in the US has been putting billboards up featuring pictures of people who refuse to reject reality. I don’t really see why anyone would want to do this, other than perhaps an open invitation to be mocked by the entire internet, but I’m not complaining. After all, it is a free country.

I should point out that there are rumors that this sign was just the first in a series. So if anyone discovers any followup billboards, featuring residents of the 9th ward, or eskimos missing their Arctic Ocean beaches, feel free to post a link below.
