I know I like to rant and rave about US politics/policy a lot but this is fucking ridiculous.  This US congressional representative should not be allowed to even sit on the House committee of Energy & Commerce let alone chair it with these types views.

U.S. Representative John Shimkus, possible future chairman of the Congressional committee that deals with energy and its attendant environmental concerns, believes that climate change should not concern us since God has already promised not to destroy the Earth.

Shimkus, an evangelical Christian and a Republican member of the House from Illinois, on Tuesday signalled his desire to become chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

What the hell is happening to logic and reasoning in the US?  Why is that country going backwards in terms of progress, I mean if you’re a climate change skeptic that’s one thing (even though evidence greatly supports climate change models) but to suggest that climate change will not happen because god said is absolute lunacy!!!
