“Climate change is real, it’s urgent, and America can take the lead in the world in addressing it,” she told her mostly young audience.

Meanwhile China is dumping large amounts of Mercury into the world’s water supply. I am far from an environmentalist BUT dihydrogen oxide is very important.
to the question...... no, Hillary is just ignorant. Hillary has no science
Clinton and others deny that a mammal’s life begins at fertilization, even though it would be easily proven with a DNA test.

You can fool some of the people all the time. These days that segment of fools seems to approach 40% or so. If it goes much higher, if it hasn't already, we are screwed.
