Just how bad is the new crop of Tea Party-infused GOPers when it comes to scientific understanding of climate change?ย  Pretty mind-bogglingly abyssmal.ย 

A new analysis by the Wonk Room with research by Daily Kos contributor RL Miller details the denial among the new crop of Climate Zombies that will be walking the halls ofย Congress.

Among the findings: โ€œ45 of 97 Republican freshmen and 85 of 166 reelected Republicans are confirmed climate zombies. There are no Republican freshmen, in the House or Senate, who admit the science is real.โ€

Yikes.

Head over to the Wonk Room for the full report.
