I guess this shows that America is very democratic.  Even the dumb people are well represented.

He is truly the worst, or at least one of, in the PA house

Wow everyone knows that REAL MEN don't eat rabbit food. I'm afraid the representative has outed himself as a latte sipping sissy libtard vegan homo-sexual.

[YE]

Imagine liking vegetables.

A former colleague of mine used to say: "Salad isn't food.  Salad is what food eats."

As if going below 280 ppm of CO2 was an option.

Low energy hippie homos are the enemy of the people. SAD!!!

You're not a REAL man unless you eat a diet that's so bereft of vegetables that you have to spend three or more hours a day on the toilet painfully passing several pounds worth of red meat.

The amount of stupid people in state legislatures never ceases to amaze me.

Maybe he likes salt on his vegetables so next he'll encourage rising ocean levels.

Rising sea levels=Good for home prices in Appalachia

[Ban my account ffs!]

Global warming will definitely benefit a few.  And harm a great many.

Republicans love that combination...

They're too well represented. It's astounding that the Republican party is actually getting less intellectual on environmental issues.

[Figueira]

Good thing no one wants to eliminate all carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, idiot.

Imagine liking vegetables.

God, are these serious?

TBH, a 3 meter rise (2100 very high scenario) in ocean levels wouldn't flood that much. There are far bigger issues climate change will cause.

[Kleine Scheiße]

Not counting potatoes and maybe corn, I can't remember the last time I consumed a vegetable.  I even do my best to pick them all off premade sandwiches and the like.

I guess I've had guac too, so one more exclusion.

Oh absolutely. I was thinking more in the American context, and in relation to acidification, desertification, etc. Still a problem, obviously.

Do you have any concept of Florida? and really much of the Gulf/Atlantic coast.  It's quite a bit different from California.

Check out this NOAA tool that simulates sea level rise up to 10 feet along the U.S. coast.

[DINGO Joe]

Really a 1 meter rise would totally mess with Florida.  The state is basically beach-road-condo.  There ain't no levees.
