Climate Change Deniers Think Polar Bears Are Thriving in a Melting Arctic

Because they are uninformed. Anyone who looks at the science objectively can at least see indications for concern. To see the complete opposite of the truth requires faith in a ‘special’ kind of science. A science where you start with what you want to believe is true, and then create studies to back up your position, ignoring any facts that don’t fit with your theorem to eventually arrive at your ‘proven’ science-based ‘truth’… You know that isn’t actually science, right?

This type of power grab couldn’t happen without the bipolar partisanship that both parties love so fucking much.

Bill would protect states from federal marijuana crackdown

I have great hope that the coming showdown will result in the Federal government giving way to the rights of the 44 states that have a LOT to lose until federal and state policies are aligned. It’s coming. I can smell it,and it smells pretty skunky.

“Now that 44 states have legalized marijuana to some extent, the federal government needs to look at the failed drug policies of the past and operate differently”, Rohrabacher said.
