Watching John Boehner demonstrate his ignorance when asked about global warming on This Week with George Stephanopoulos was surprisingly painful:
The huge amount of waste gasses from livestock do in fact contribute to global warming significantly; and of course it is silly to call carbon dioxide a carcinogen - but that's very different from calling it a potentially dangerous greenhouse case in significant quantities. The fact that Boehner doesn't even know the basic terms of this debate is disturbing if telling - as the only way to explain his rejectionist position is a combination of ignorance and greed for fundraising dollars.
