In my recent talk on "
Science vs., Politics" at the Philadelphia Association for Critical Thinking (
PhACT), I argued, among other things, that science denialism in the GOP has probably peaked, such that we'll likely see an effort by Republican politicians to shed the political liability of being seen as the antiscience party. Today I am pleased to see
Marco Rubio doing just that (and it is to his credit, as there's no honor in denying scientific facts).
