NEW YORK TIMES: Can the Kochs hold back history? No, but perhaps they can staunch the flow of nonsense from enviro-idiots like Timothy Egan. His narcissistic arrogance (and ignorance) is astonishing. Here's but one example:
About 44 percent of Republicans and 70 percent of Tea Party-leaning voters believe there is no solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer, according to the Pew Research Center.

Now, this is not 70 percent who think Donald Duck is really a platypus, though in a way it is. This is 70 percent who have been convinced that the actual hard numbers, that 9 of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred in this century, are a hoax. It’s like saying, No, it was not 75 degrees in Atlanta yesterday — that’s just your view.
He must have forgotten the Midieval Warm Period or not noticed that there has been no statistically significant global warming for the past 17 (yes, seventeen) years.

What a doofus.
