“Snowpocalpyse” was a godsend to skeptics of global warming.
Taking advantage of the fact that Congress had a snow day, the family of James Inhofe — the anti-climate change senator — built an igloo 2 meters high in front of the Capitol and put up a sign full of subtlety: “Al Gore’s new home”
On the other side of the sign, for the attention of motorists: “Honk if you like Global Warming” was written.
Meanwhile, the American government was shut down for the fourth consecutive day. A godsend (again) for the Tea Partiers, who believe that the government is pointless.
According to an ABC/Washington Post poll, two thirds of Americans are dissatisfied with the way their federal government works. They believe that when they send 1 dollar to the federal government, 45 dollars go right out the window.
