ThinkProgress documents Michael Steele earlier this year:
STEELE: 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.
And today:
Q: Global warming, you say the earth is cooling. Michael how do you know for sure?
STEELE: I don’t! I don’t! But apparently neither does anybody else! Ok? I don’t.
So Michael Steele says the world is cooling, but he really doesn't know.
But it sounds good to say there's global cooling because it's the opposite of what smart people are saying. And whatever smart people say must be wrong because many of them happen to be liberal.
