Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was unable to name a single source when asked on Tuesday to name the information he is reading that has led him to recently further cement himself as adenier of human-caused climate change.
At a National Press Club event, Rubio was asked by an audience member, via a moderator, “what information, reports, studies or otherwise are you relying on to inform and reach your conclusion that human activity is not to blame for climate change?”
But Rubio was unable to respond with a single source, and dodged the question.
“Well, again, headlines notwithstanding, I’ve never disputed that the climate is changing, and I’ve pointed out that climate to some extent is always changing, it’s never static.” Rubio continued:
That’s not the question before me as a policymaker. If we ban all coal in the U.S., if we ban all carbon emissions in the United States, will it change the dramatic changes in climate and these dramatic weather impacts that we’re now reading about? And anyone who says that we will is not being truthful. The truth of the matter is the United States is a country. It is not a planet. And so there are things that we can do to become more efficient in our use of energies, there are things we can do to develop alternative sources of energy, there are things we can do to be better stewards of the energy resources that we have like natural oil and gas. But for people to go out and say if you passed this bill that I am proposing, this will somehow lead us to have less tornadoes and hurricanes. And that’s what I take issue with.
dismissing those who's vote you are there to get isn't the way politics work they've spent so much hot air on how Pres. doesn't know this or that when the reality is they are the ones who are oblivious.  he's referring to big business when it comes to carbon emissions and the world populations that employ fossil fuels, as to big business they are booming record stock exchange numbers but we haven't seen this massive job creation they have been telling us would happen still lying.

and to go on nat'l TV and say you disagree with 97% of our scientist who support climate change that you don't believe them these are not persons you want at the helm like Bush Bin Laden warnings ignoring it will have major consequences.
