Jon Stewart Proves Climate Science Deniers Wrong With 3rd Grade Science

In 2014, 26 years after James Hansen first told Congress that global warming is now happening, why is the People's Climate March still necessary?

Google: We Never Said Anything About Being Stupid

Google, the company whose motto is "don't be evil," recently hosted a big money fundraiser for Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the Senate's climate science denier-in-chief. Watch Andy Cobb take a look at how that might affect Google's search performance, then tell Google to stop funding evil:

You're Welcome: Biodegradable Hokies Jello Shots

From a Virginia Tech fan who'd been annoyed that jello shots involved wasting plastic cups:
