Michael Steele's Fingers Deny Existence of Global Warming

We hoped that Michael Steele, the new Chairman of the Republican Party, would push Republican leaders in Washington to rethink their antagonistic approach to global warming legislation. Sadly, instead of following the lead of Republicans like Governor Crist and Governor Schwarzenegger, Chairman Steele is following Rush Limbaugh, Senator McConnell and their friends down the wrong path. For the future of this country and the future of his party, he should stop making nonsensical statements like this:

"We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I use my fingers as quotation marks, is part of the cooling process."
