Rush Limbaugh compared the tearful Congressional testimony of Charlee Lockwood regarding global warming's effect on her community to the 70's era PSA commercial where:
the Indian, the Native American, sorry uh standing by the roadside as you know worthless Americans drive by on the way to their trailer parks and so forth uh and throwing trash out the window of their car. Native American...and a little tear starts rolling down his cheek over what white Europeans have done to his country. This stuff is oppressive.
Then Limbaugh took a call from a guest who said that everything was ok climate change wise, because Lockwood's ancestors came over on an ice bridge that no longer exists. Good to know, I guess.
Charlee Lockwood is an Inuit teen from St. Michael's Village who has become a leading force in demanding action to fight global climate change.
Read it and weep...

that was completely disgusting.
i admit to some envy, when she said she had never heard of limbaugh. 18 years old and she’s already essentially been an environmental activist for two years. something any parent would be proud of. and the conservative establishment basically tells her: we don’t want to hear from you, you’re a tool, you’re not qualified to comment, etc. all this while they’re quoting junk science and calling the whole idea of climate change a hoax.
my god. do we need some new media voices out there, or what?
