Cool! Does this mean it's OK to burn leaves again?

50% of the New Congressmen Deny Climate Change | AlterNet

Yes, the folks over at Think Progress did some background research on the incoming Congressmen, and they reveal a disheartening stat: 50% of them outright deny that climate change is real.

(Emphasis mine.)

Sure, go ahead, call me a geezer, but every year about this time I miss the smell of smoke in the air. We used to rake all the fallen leaves into big piles and burn them. Most places, I guess that's illegal now. Or at least really, really, really frowned upon. I bet if we got ourselves a Tea president we'd be allowed to burn leaves again. The Teas seem to like smoke a lot.

Well, and mirrors.
