#------------------------------ Now, we don’t know who will win next year’s presidential election. But the odds are that one of these years the world’s greatest nation will find itself ruled by a party that is aggressively anti-science, indeed anti-knowledge.

Theocracies thrive by keeping people uneducated, misinformed, and subservient, (eg a congregation that will follow in blind faith). Texas Governor Rick Perry is in bed with big oil companies, who want to discredit global warming in support of continuing with an economy dependent on petroleum. Burning petroleum is one of the major causes of the green house gas CO2.
