yup...always follow the moneyThat silly b*stard owns a company called Mohawk Energy that relies on oil and gas companies to be its biggest clients.
So he couldn't possibly have any reasons why he would be invested in downplaying climate change.

new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute asked people about the severity of recent natural disasters. About six in 10 (62 percent) said climate change is at least partly to blame. About half -- 49 percent -- cited the biblical end times (as in, the apocalypse) for the recent natural disasters. That latter number is up five points from 2011.
(People were allowed to volunteer more than one cause.)
Michelle Boorstein has the big run-down of all the numbers from the survey, and we would urge folks to check out her story. The end-times view is held by especially large numbers of white evangelical Christians (77 percent) and black Protestants (74 percent).
The fact that half of Americans cite the end times as a cause of recent severe weather events suggests a kind of fatalism that would certainly lead to less urgency when it comes to issues like climate change. Even many of those who believe in climate change -- and about one-quarter of Americans don't, per the survey -- seem to think natural disasters are part of something that is preordained.
In addition, 39 percent of Americans say God would not allow humans to destroy the Earth (53 percent disagree). So, apparently, most of those who believe we're in the end times also believe God would intervene. Basically at least four in 10 Americans see little reason for a human response -- or, at least, doubt things will wind up being catastrophic.
It should be no surprise, then, that of all the issues tested by PRRI's poll, climate change is viewed as the least important. Just 5 percent rate it as the No. 1 issue, behind things like immigration, education and the wealth gap.

Evangelicals are fuked in the head. We had two evangelical students in my class who refused to read about evolution and natural selection, failing the biology class. And they would constantly have pointless arguments with our bio teacher(who was one of em outspoken militant athiests). The arguments got heated to the point where one of em nutcases started randomly reading passages from the bible when the teacher spoke.. The Brehs tried to convert the class nearly every month. Their determination was admirable doe. They ended up dropping out of school and now they're studying to become evangelical priests in the US.neither can be proven

May satan lead them to success

Fox News host Andrea Tantaros (screen grab)
The hosts of the Fox News program Outnumbered on Wednesday slammed the White House for saying that climate change affects more Americans than terrorism. Because according to one host, faulty “science” about a recent snow storm made Americans “give up our freedom.”
In a recent interview with Vox, President Barack Obama had said that the media tends to overstate the threat of terrorism compared with the threat of climate change and disease “because that’s what folks watch, and it’s all about ratings.”
So on Tuesday, ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl leveraged the recent tragic death of ISIS hostage Kayla Mueller to suggest that the president thought climate change was a bigger threat than terrorism.
“I think, Jon, the point that president is making is that there are many more people on an annual basis who have to confront the impact, the direct impact on their lives of climate change or on the spread of a disease than on terrorism,” White House Press Secretary explained to Karl.
This notion outraged the hosts of Outnumbered on Wednesday.
“How many Americans have died from climate change?” host Andrea Tantaros asked.
“Climate change cannot dress up, cross continent borders, look like a neighbor, plan, plot, sit in the cut, and then blow something up,” co-host Harris Faulkner opined.
Attorney Mark Eiglarsh pointed out that Ernest “is just saying it affects more people in terms of numbers.”
“No, this all about the president wants to make corporations the enemy,” co-host Melissa Francis insisted. “That’s much easier. He’s so much more comfortable fighting back against the 1 percent, against companies who are changing the environment rather than against ISIS.”
“Is there anything factually incorrect about the statement that more Americans are impacted by climate change?” Eiglarsh asked.
“The science is off,” Tantaros shot back. “And let me point to a very recent example. That’s the most important thing, the science is off. We just had a snow storm two weeks ago in New York. They told us New York City was going to get blown out.”
“We had to give up our freedom and sit in our house, no cars on the road,” she continued. “Guess what? The models were wrong. So they got the models wrong on the science 24 hours before. How about those models 10, 20 years from now?”
“The models were exactly right for the people in Boston,” Faulkner observed.
“This hysteria, this crisis, this spending taxpayer dollars to fix it, until we have it as a fact, I don’t think we should do it,” Tantaros declared.
