The NCSE has a brief piece on a certain other breed of science denialist who's been showing up in state legislatures as of  late:

"The U.S. political debate over climate change is seeping into K-12 science classrooms, and teachers are feeling the heat," according to a report in Science (August 5, 2011; subscription required).
