In 2014, climate change has become a debate for more than politicians, hopeful candidates and scientists.
Game show hosts are getting involved, too, and things are getting strange.
I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends. Good night.

Pat Sajak, the face of Wheel of Fortune for more than 30 years, took to Twitter late Monday night to not only deny science, but also to declare that you are likely a racist if you think the planet is warming. Alright, then.
Sometimes it's fun to poke a stick in a hornets' nest just to hear the buzzing.

Hey @PatSajak, this aint the Wheel of Fortune. If we lose this game, it isn't just one person's misfortune. All humanity pays the price.

I guess the main thing that surprises me about this Pat Sajak thing is that a lot of people out there actually read Pat Sajak's tweets
