Marco Rubio: I Don't Believe Humans Are Causing Climate Change

[0rganism]

53. "the way these scientists are portraying it"

The way that reads, he's using "scientist" as a synonym for "kook" and "con-artist", and his constituents eat that shit up, which is why we aren't going to get any meaningful action to address the causes in the next 25 years. The amount of disrespect shown for science by lawmakers in the last 20 years is something i never thought i'd see.

It's already too late to roll back the onslaught of climate change directly on the scale at which it needs to be tackled. We are facing major disasters on a world-wide scale within what i'd consider to be the average lifespan of someone reading this post. i can only hope our policy-makers at least, eventually, at the end of the day, can talk sensibly about mitigating the effects of the problem they refuse to address but now grudgingly, little by little, admit to existing.
