Rubio Has Blunt Words on Climate Change, Hillary Clinton
“I don’t agree with the notion that some are putting out there, including scientists, that somehow there are actions we can take today that would actually have an impact on what’s happening in our climate. Our climate is always changing,” he said.

Okay, well, that's idiotic.
I have issues with climate change mitigation *policy*. I'd never be for bankster cap and trade scams, or just carbon taxes (that's just tax grab).
But Rubio is just an idiot. For starters, it would help matters if we:
* transitioned the national truck fleet to nat gas. Trucks, busses, all of that should be nat gas. There are so many tractor trailers on the interstates in this country, just doing that would make a difference.
* Ban coal. No more coal fired plants. No exporting coal. (that ain't gonna ever happen, but it *would* make a difference)
* China has to get off coal. That's the big one. Again, it ain't gonna happen, they have over 200 new coal fired plants in the pipeline. They are the world's largest polluter. Beijing has so much smog it's pea soup and everyone wears masks.
I saw an article about coal mines shutting down in Canada. It's not because coal is so bad for the environment, but rather there is so much coal being mined and it is so cheap that it's not profitable to mine it in Canada! That's the future, more coal for the developing world, and exponentially more pollution.
Nothing can ever happen to mitigate climate change. Because even the lefties are against nuclear. It's impossible. But Rubio is still wrong that there aren't "actions we can take today that would actually have an impact on what’s happening in our climate."
Those actions are there, they could be taken, but China ain't gonna do it and neither are our entrenched big coal / energy interest groups, and lefties don't want nuclear, it's all impossible.
