During a town hall event on Tuesday in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton bashed Republican lawmakers who are in “denial” about climate change and refuse to enact policies to address environmental issues.
Clinton noted that when asked if human activity contributes to climate change, many Republican lawmakers respond by saying, “I’m not a scientist.”
“The answer to that is, ‘Go talk to one,'” Clinton said.
The former Secretary of State said that lawmakers need to stop letting politics get in the way of policy to address climate change, criticizing Republicans who “are under the thumb of the fossil fuel industry, and in particular the Koch brothers.”
Republican lawmakers also argue that policies aimed at curbing coal pollution will hurt the American economy. Clinton on tuesday argued that attempts to address climate change will produce economic opportunities, such as investments in wind energy.
To her credit, years ago I attended a science conference regarding acid rain effects. She was there, listening attentively in the audience prior to speaking.
Well, I’m not a woman, so I don’t know what she’s talking about. (And don’t tell me to go talk to one…girls are scary.)
Over 95% of climate scientists will tell you humans are causing the greater part of the climate change we are seeing. Nearly 200 countries were in agreement in Paris about climate change. Who is in denial? Only the GOP. It reminds me of Orly Taitz and her inability to accept the evidence before her eyes that Obama was born in Hawaii and that there was no conspiracy between his parents in 1961 to make him President.
They’d need to get their maps out to find a scientist:
Trump: Why are we listening to a woman telling us what to do? Men know all this instinctively as we are not the bleeding type.
