Climate deniers love to repeat this dead wrong talking point. Here’s how to refute it.

On Sunday morning, CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked U.S. Senator Marco Rubio whether he thought the changing climate on Earth today was “at least in part” caused by humans. 

On live television, Rubio acknowledged that humans were partly responsible, and then immediately sowed some doubt into his answer.

“I think many scientists would debate what percentage is attributable to man versus normal fluctuations,” Rubio said. 

This is misleading, at best, because there is no plausible debate. 

In a variety of ways, scientists globally have repeatedly shown that the modern-day warming of our oceans and atmosphere is specifically attributed human activity — not volcanoes nor the sun. We’ve simply loaded the atmosphere with carbon-based gases that physically trap heat.   Read more…

For fuck’s sake.

We’re not even 24 hours removed from the latest mass shooting in the U.S. where a man stormed a newsroom in Maryland and killed five people in cold blood, and Sen. Marco Rubio is more concerned about a naughty word used in a news report.

During an emotional interview with CNN, Capital Gazette reporter Selene San Felice — who was in the newsroom when the shooting happened and who saw her colleagues get killed — told Anderson Cooper on the subject of “thoughts and prayers”: “I’m going to need more than a couple days of news coverage and some thoughts and prayers, because it’s our whole lives have been shattered. And so thanks for your prayers, but I couldn’t give a fuck about them if there’s nothing else.”  Read more…

What would parents do to their kids if they ridiculed a senator? Give them ice cream, apparently

TwitterFacebook

Wednesday’s CNN town hall on gun violence was always going to be a heated affair.

But the forum also presented numerous opportunities for the students, teachers and parents of Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, to confront decision makers about inaction on guns.

Namely Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who was asked by shooting survivor Cameron Kasky if he would reject contributions from the National Rifle Association, in a nod to the lobby group’s political influence.

Cameron Kasky, who survived the school shooting: “Sen. Rubio, can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the NRA?”
Rubio: “People buy into my agenda, and I do support the Second Amendment” #StudentsStandUp https://t.co/ucmVB74g1C
