I’m glad Stockwell Day isn’t my MP anymore - Science or Stockwell?

This may the reason why Harper is gagging all his fellow Conservative MPs.

Hey who knows, maybe Al Gore is right.
Maybe all my constituents living high up on the West Bench, or Lakeview Heights, or the hills of Logan Lake will soon be sitting on lakeside property as one of the many benefits of global warming.
All I know is last weekend when I got home from Ottawa there was more snow in my driveway than we usually get in a year.
And I was begging for Big Al’s Glacial Melt when the mercury hit -24. Do not despair, my fellow dwellers of the Okanagan and Nicola Valleys.
If misery loves company then we had lots of it around our province. Matter of fact, at one point in the week some 22 towns and cities had broken all-time records for paralyzing frigid temperatures.

That is an excerpt from a letter from Stockwell Day to his constituents. It’s pretty obvious that Day does not believe in science. This really isn’t a surprise. After all this is the same guy who said, “Standards of education are not set by government, but by God, the Bible, the home and the school.” And that’s not an attack on religion, I fully support freedom of religion, but Stockwell Day was a teacher then. And I think the debate on seperation of church and state is over in Canada.
I think Day’s comments pretty much sum up the way Conservatives really think about Global Warming. You can tell that Harper and his MPs don’t consider the environment to be a top priority, by the way they are handling the profile.
But I am still stumped. What is more credible, the scientific facts behind global warming or Stockwell Day’s opinion on it?
