"Republicans (Not Democrats or Independents) Should Be Forced to Take a Basic Earth Science Course"

Hey, Ed, you are right. The amount of wildfires is abnormal. On the low side! Here is the official data from the U.S. government you admire so much. The number of acres burned is the lowest in more than a decade (lower graph)!

Yes, I think a course on the basics of atmospheric science would be a good idea for all MSNBC hosts. Come on out to Wichita, Ed, and I'll conduct one for you. No charge. Please feel free to bring Al Gore along. He got a "D" in natural science at Harvard (I've seen his transcript from the 2000 Presidential campaign).
Good grief.
