"We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I am using my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process. Greenland, which is now covered in ice, it was once called Greenland for a reason, right? Iceland, which is now green. Oh I love this. Like we know what this planet is all about. How long have we been here? How long? No very long."

Greenland, for the record, likely had forestation some 450,000 to 800,000 years ago. But its name was derived, as is most commonly believed, from Erik the Red, who wanted to trick people into going to that island as opposed to the more hospitable Iceland.

It's pretty shocking that Michael Steele, the Assistant to the Manager of the GOP (Rush Limbaugh), entirely discounts the fact that the globe is warming. Wait, no it's not. After eight years of the Bush Administration and the past three months or so of watching the GOP make even more of a fool of itself, Mr. Steele's assertions are right on track for a party heading out for a generation or two in the woods.
