Showing Original Post only (View all)Another Obama nominee in trouble? .....for believing in science. [View all]
Another presidential nominee may have trouble getting confirmed, this time for believing science that shows a connection between climate change and extreme weather.
At a confirmation hearing for Janet McCabe, President Obamas pick to head the Environmental Protection Agencys Air and Radiation office, Alabama Republican Senator Jeff Sessions said he could not support her because of her views on climate change.

Sessions, who serves on the Environment and Public Works Committee, has long denied the existence of man-made climate change.
