August 16, 2019: Republican Senator Finds Humor in Climate Change Threat

 

8/16/19: Sometimes you can lead a horse to water, but if you hit the horse upside the head with a frozen zucchini, the horse will still refuse to learn French. 

Sen. John Cornyn proves this adage apt. Like “Snowball” Jim Inhofe, who once packed a snowball in January and declared therefore that climate change could not be real, Cornyn proves just as dense today. (See: 8/15/19.)

First, let’s put up his lunkhead tweet, a response to a tweet by his colleague, Sen. Chuck Schumer:




Then, let’s mourn the fact that science teachers failed miserably to educate Cornyn when he was a boy. 

Now Cornyn helps baffle and befuddle the GOP base. Note the more than ten thousand “likes.” 

Cornyn is back again tweeting soon after, claiming his first tweet was a light-hearted attempt at humor. The reaction of the “left” goes to show, he says, that the “left” is made up of generally terrible human beings. 

 


 

The humorless “left” in this case would include just about every reputable scientist, every major scientific body, both the NOAA and NASA, and the 195 signatory nations to the Paris Climate Accord. 

All agree climate change is a metastasizing threat and will be no laughing matter for generations to come.
