Throw Florida’s apparent rejection of the phrase ‘climate change’ onto the pile of anti-climate politics - The Washington Post
Yeah, let's get real. 97% of climate scientists assert climate change is real and
largely man-made. See NASA link at bottom. Many Republicans, even most
in some polling questions, want action and are concerned. See link
below. The author's statement of this governor's obstinate ignorance and
denial 'reflecting' the 'Republican base' is off-base. Maybe some
long-time coal and oil mercenaries like Inhofe and McConnell have
despoiled the GOP party's platform to deny science and allow pollution,
and deny man-made climate change's existence, but most of us know
better. It would be best and most adult if these guys would admit what
is happening, and try to cut down on the pollution of their industries.
That seems what the Republican base is solidifying it's position around:
....... "The poll found that 83 percent of Americans, including 61
percent of Republicans and 86 percent of independents, say that if
nothing is done to reduce emissions, global warming will be a very or
somewhat serious problem in the future." ....... "... 67 percent of
respondents, including 48 percent of Republicans and 72 percent of
independents, said they were less likely to vote for a candidate who
said that human-caused climate change is a hoax." ..... "Ninety-one
percent of Democrats, 78 percent of independents and 51 percent of
Republicans said the government should be fighting climate change." ....

97% of scientists agree on man-made climate change -- reported on the
***NASA website*** , the scientists of scientists, not just some liberal
conspiracy bloggers. 97% is a ridiculously high consensus. If
scientists can land a man on the moon, they can figure out why the
planet is heating. An easy fact to digest, unless you own an oil field
and are in complete denial. A free thinking person really shouldn't
remain a flat-earth society person given this information, or worse just
because his state governor is best friends with the oil field owner.
And worse if you live on the coast.... where many if not most Floridians
and people on our planet live. The romance of being a climate change
denier is unattractive and just getting old. At some point you have to
get with reality, particularly if you are a governor. http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/
