Marsha Blackburn is the Small Mind of the Day

"We need you to change things, not deny what's happening," Bill Nye told Representative Marsha Blackburn (Republican, Tennessee). He implored her to stop questioning the facts behind climate change, while Blackburn maintained that there is not consensus in the scientific community about global warming.

This despite the fact that 97% of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities, according to NASA. Experts say that there is still some uncertainty in absolutely linking isolated extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy or bad droughts to global warming, but the vast majority of scientists ascribe climate change and the increase in extreme weather to human activity.

That makes Blackburn either willfully stupid or corrupt. But maybe when the planet heats up a bit, it'll melt the butter in her mouth.
