Governor Rick Perry's Global Warming Irony

Governor Rick Perry denies Science, Prays for Rain

So Texas governor and GOP presidential candidate told reporters this week that manmade global warming is scientific theory that has not been proven.

Can't say I was surprised by the comment. After all, he's running for president and needs some good talking points to lure all the deniers to his camp. But I do find it interesting that the man who says manmade global warming is just a theory that hasn't been proven, was awful quick to call on Texans to pray for rain so the state's worst drought in more than a hundred years would end.

Governor Perry doesn't buy global warming, which there is solid scientific consensus if you don't count those “scientists” on Exxon's payroll, but he does believe that God will end the state's worst drought in more than a hundred years if you just pray hard enough.

Just something to chew on.
