by snipy
You just cant beat Steve King (R-WTF) for sheer idiocy about climate change. For real, this guy is like the ninja master godking of stupid. You probably have to practice 6 to 8 hours a day to be this dumb. Theres likely an extensive training regimen of daily trepanning and lead paint supplements. Only with some serious beefing down of your brain could you deliver a speech where you give a lengthy accentuate the positive routine about how global warming doesnt exist but if it does it is gonna be SO AWESOME BRO.
Now, Steve-o doesnt just go out the gate full steam. Naw mang, he warms up like any real pro should with a little light stretching of ignorance:
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) dismissed the concern over global warming, labeling it a religion and claiming efforts to address climate change are useless.
It is not proven, its not science, King said Tuesday, according to The Messenger of Fort Dodge, Iowa. Its more of a religion than a science.

Weve seen this routine many times before. Now is where the boys of idjut separate from the men of truly spectacularly imbecilic. This is where Steve King THROWS DOWN, YO with a double axel reverse twist round off of witless:
King said he thought environmentalists should focus on the positive aspects of the earth heating up due to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, instead of harping on the negatives.
Everything that might result from a warmer planet is always bad in {environmentalists'} analysis, King said. There will be more photosynthesis going on if the earth gets warmer. And if sea levels go up four or six inches, I dont know if wed know that.

We have no idea if more photosynthesis is gooder or badder for Mother Earth, and we suspect Steve King does not either. He threw that word down in the awesomely casual way of a 9th-grader who has to do a book report but hasnt even opened the book but figures he can skate by with a few big words.
OK, so well all be photosynthesizing and it will be the best endless summer ever! What else has Steve got up his sleeve?
King suggested that rising sea levels are not a good measurement of the consequences of global warming.
We dont know where sea level is even, let alone be able to say that its going to come up an inch globally because some polar ice caps might melt because theres CO2 suspended in the atmosphere, King said.

DAYYYUMMM, SON. King STUCK that motherfucking landing! Sea levels might be rising, but they might not! Perhaps theyre just returning to their rightful height and theyve been sad hobbit-sized sea levels for the entirety of human history. Seems plausible!
Were going to spend the day playing Candy Crush and staring into space, knowing full well that our mere act of breathing in and out displays a greater intelligence than that found in Steve King.
