Everything that's wrong with the Rick Santorum for President campaign is represented in one statement Rick Santorum made yesterday at a campaign appearance in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Explaining why he doesn't believe that global warming is real, Santorum said, "The dangers of carbon dioxide? Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is. What does Santorum think will happen if I go and tell a plant how dangerous unnatural carbon dioxide emissions are? Will the plant explain to me how wrong I am? Will the plant provide a story about its personal experience with carbon dioxide emissions?

No, that won't happen. You see, plants" don't" have" conversations. Plants" don't" listen" when" people" talk.

It's an important detail that Rick Santorum seems to have missed: Plants are not experts on climatology. Plants don't understand science. Plants don't have brains.
