A bad case of the stupids

Today the Business section of the New York Times featured an article about the Arctic Ocean now open for oil tankers.  What Henry Hudson was searching for--a northern passage to Asia--is now available.  The sea lanes are ice-free.
You can rationally deny that human activities are causing global warming, but you cannot rationally deny that global warming is taking place.  Nonetheless, at least three Republican candidates, one in the top tier, are doing just that.  I don’t know whether to be depressed or amazed.
