Crazy talk: Rick Santorum out-denies the climate deniers and spins eco-conspiracy theories
Rick Santorum is way crazy when it comes to environmental issues -- so crazy he makes Newt Gingrich's moon-colony plans sound plausible, and Mitt Romney's climate flip-floppery look presidential.

Santorum warns of ‘reign of environmental terror’
Rick Santorum's latest approach to environmental conservation seems to be that liberals are a form of psychological terrorists, using guilt and science to distort the truth and frighten real Americans into sheeplike compliance.

Rick Santorum is literally the worst
Santorum swamped Romney (sorry) at two caucuses and a nonbinding primary yesterday, suggesting that his candidacy is a less funny joke than previously thought. Well whatever, they’ve clearly been playing King of the Mountain all campaign season, knocking each other off the top of the dung heap — at this point, do we care which […]

Let’s make fun of Rick Santorum talking about climate change
Is it getting boring to make fun of Rick Santorum? I don't really care, because frankly the dude is both a menace and an ignoramus and that is comedy gold even if he didn't look like the love child of Ryan Reynolds and a turtle. (Yes, I recycled that joke, but it's TRUE.) It's all very well to talk about frothy mixtures and whatnot, but opportunities to mock Santorum go well beyond his Google problem. Although seriously, does anyone else feel sort of dirty when they type his name, like they should be writing "Sant*rum" or something?
Anyway, Treehugger found a doozy of a quote from Sir Mixture-a-lot about global warming. Let's mock it! (Note to Rick and adherents: We are not in the "then they laugh at you" stage of Gandhi's, or whoever's, hierarchy. We are just laughing at you.)

Rick Santorum wants women to have lots of babies, whether they like it or not
Rick Santorum isn't just a climate denier -- he's a contraception denier. He believes contraception exists, but he's eying ways to deny you access to it.

Santorum vs. Romney: The climate is screwed either way

Rick Perry: Just because global warming is a 'fact' doesn't mean it's real
Oh, Rick Perry. He's like a feudal lord who was just defrosted from the 13th century, only better-coiffed and less handy with a lance. He's like his own personal Renaissance Festival. Science? Forsooth, milord, what dost thou mean?
In last night's debate, Perry offered the following extremely convincing (to other 13th-century refugees) argument against global warming:
- Not all scientists believe in it, I am pretty sure.
- I can't name any scientist who doesn't, but then, I can't name any scientists at all.
- Even if they do say it's a fact, that doesn't mean it's true.
- Because Galileo.
- Hey, Galileo! He's a scientist who probably didn't believe in global warming!
- QED.
