and they are climate a**holes

While President Obama is revealing a plan to address climate change -- and yes, we can be one of the international leaders on addressing this critical issue -- the Republicans, as is their usual way, are being, well,

A**HOLES.  Stupid moronic A**HOLES, as it were.

As reported by Greg Sargent:

This is why:

"Indeed, Congressional Republicans are encouraging GOP governors to resist the new rule with the explicit purpose of undermining the chances of getting an international climate deal by sowing doubts as to whether the U.S. can meet its own pledges."

Sickening, nauseating, and distressing.
