There seems to be a climate change pattern emerging...in the administration's response to questions about climate change.
[USDA Secretary Sonny] Perdue told CNN's Vanessa Yurkevich in the interview released Tuesday that "we don't know" the cause of climate change, adding, "and obviously scientists -- many scientists believe that it's human caused, other scientists believe it's not," Perdue responded."So if it's not human caused, then what is it?" Yurkevich asked."You know, I think it's weather patterns, frankly. And you know, and they change, as I said. It rained yesterday, it's a nice pretty day today. So the climate does change in short increments and in long increments," Perdue responded.In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday, Pence repeatedly refused to say if he views the global climate crisis as a threat to the United States.
Follow-up questions:
- Based on your extensive review of the research on climate change, how many scientists 'believe' and how many 'other scientists' do not?
- How do you define 'scientist?'
- Do you follow the stock market? Does it go up and down from day to day? What happens over the long-term?
