Andrew Sullivan on Heartland's refusal to believe that CO2 isn't overheating our non-overheating planet: "Large sections of the American right are now close to insane as well as depraved"

The Right And The Climate: A New Low - The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan - The Daily Beast

In some ways, this is an almost perfect illustration of what has happened to the "right." A refusal to acknowledge scientific reality; and a brutalist style of public propaganda that focuses entirely on guilt by the most extreme association...Mann and Ornstein are correct. Large sections of the American right are now close to insane as well as depraved. And there is no Buckley to rein them in. Just countless Jonah Goldbergs seeking to cash in.
