One who’ll sacrifice his home state on the altar of his own political ambition:
Of all the states that stand to suffer from climate change, Florida is facing potentially the bleakest consequences. A New York Times report noted last week that global warming was already having an effect on everyday life, like leading to flooding on streets that never used to flood.
Meanwhile, a National Climate Assessment has named Miami as the city most vulnerable to damage from rising sea levels. While a Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact paper warned that water in the area could rise by as much as two feet by the year 2060.
On Sunday, one of the state’s U.S. senators, Marco Rubio (R), was pressed about the general subject of climate change, and despite the warnings outlined above, he argued that there was nothing lawmakers could or should do to reverse the climate trends (whose origins he also questioned).
“I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it,” Rubio said, according to excerpts released by ABC “This Week,”
Rubio was out today shouting from the roof tops “I’m not a climate denier.” As everyone was laughing their asses off Rubio lunged for a bottle of water. This guy isn’t the biggest fool in the Republican Party. Which is pretty scary when you think about it.
I hope the bastard can swim. No, I’ll take that back. I hope he knows how to build a raft and that Castro will re-patriate him before the Cubans of South Florida hang his sorry ass…………………..
Rubio doesn’t give a shit about the future, he’ll just abandon America, like his family abandoned Cuba. That’s assuming his 1% masters will let him on the ark.
IIRC, the average elevation in Florida is 14 feet above sea level. In addition to the soon to be sunken areas, storms will have worse effects as well. But hey, if I were a Floridian, I would want my senator and my “News Channel” to deny that anything bad is happening.
