Steve King: We might not notice ‘if sea levels go up 4 or 6 inches’ | The Raw Story

Irony = Steve King!! Most of the folks who deny climate change and its relationship to disappearing glaciers and polar ice, severe storm patterns, oceanic acidification, and rising sea level are the very same people who believe in a literal interpretation of the Deluge described in the Bible. The sense I get from "listening" not only to King, but many others, he is incapable of grasping science and fears it because it directly challenges his religious and political ideologies. In his case it is easier to just believe than to think critically. Unfortunately, they demand we believe the same fallacies, to our doom and possible extinction.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) on Tuesday managed to insult both religious Americans and climate scientists while denying the existence of global warming.

During the kickoff for the Americans for Prosperity-sponsored “Bruce Braley Big Government Tour” in Fort Dodge, King explained that attempts to fight climate change were unnecessary and hurting the economy, according to The Messenger.

“It is not proven, it’s not science,” he insisted. “It’s more of a religion than a science.”

The Republican congressman said that scientists are too focused on the bad impacts of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
