Iowa scientists urge GOP presidential candidates to deny their climate change denialism

The Hill:

A group of 31 scientists from 22 universities and colleges in Iowa issued a statement to GOP presidential candidates on Tuesday, urging them to "acknowledge the science of climate change."

Yeah, good luck with that.

Anti-scientific ignorance, on climate change and pretty much everything else -- and more broadly the refusal to acknowledge reality, willful or otherwise -- is de rigueur these days in the Republican Party.

You might as well urge Penn State students to turn against Joe Paterno.
