Earth has rings, just like Saturn.

Generally I consider all Republican politicians morons, but I'm finding it hard to believe that one of them is really as stupid as this recent news item reports.  It seems that Kentucky state Senator Brandon Smith recently asserted that man-made climate change is scientifically implausible. His evidence is that Mars and Earth share exactly the same temperature. First of all, even if that were true, I don't really know what that would prove. But of course the average third-grader knows it isn't true. While earth has an average temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit, Mars is a teensy bit colder at 81 degrees below zero. Amazingly Smith is the owner of a mining company called Mohawk Energy, which must have been left to him by a somewhat smarter relative.  Like most greedy GOPs, he is against the new carbon emission regulations from the EPA which obviously have caused him to lose all reason if he ever had any. It's a pity that before he made this humiliating statement, he didn't ask about the temperature on Mars from fellow Republican, Florida Governor Rick Scott, who I am convinced is a Martian.
