".....Yuma,Colorado, a farming town of 3,500 people near the Kansas border, celebrated last month as homegrown Republican Cory Gardner was elected to the U.S. Senate. Gardner, a high school football player and the son of a farm equipment dealer, defeated incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall to help the GOP gain control of the Senate in the second-most expensive congressional race of all time.
Gardner represented Colorados 4th Congressional District for four years, an expansive territory that covers the mostly flat and rural eastern third of the state. Farmers there mostly grow corn to feed cattle, and water comes from the quickly depleting Ogallala Aquifer.
Gardner ran for Senate as a new kind of Republican. That means he was bold enough to stand in front of a wind turbine and voice support for both renewable energy and natural gas. But Gardner, who leans toward the Tea Party, has also questioned whether people are causing climate change. His climate-skeptic position is ironicand dangerous for his very constituents.
....Thats according to analysis from a forthcoming peer-reviewed study in the journal Ecosphere by Brady Allred of the University of Montana and colleagues. Allreds study looked at political representation, agricultural and natural-resources land cover,and projected climate disruptions across the nations 435 U.S. House districts. The researchers discovered that the districts with the most agriculture and natural resources are predominantly represented by Republicans who, like Gardner,generally deny the science of global warming. Those districts also likely face the most severe climate changes.....
The disconnect isnt just depressing news for climate-conscious voters in other parts of the country. The failure to act on climate issues could devastate the nations breadbasket. Climate change could harm corn, soy, wheat, and cattle production,affecting U.S. and global food supplies. In other words,the effects of political polarization and Republican aversion to climate action could harm everyone....

"Climate change/disruption/warming/cooling" is a progressive political tool used to dictate and grow government.
Oh! The horror! The "stupid" Tea Party is driving climate disruption disrespect; they've taken over the south and are on a march across the nation.
The Left will keep beating the Climate Disruption drum, warning the country that this is settled science and the consequences are so dire - ignorant Tea Party ideas so dangerous - that they should not be listened to or allowed to serve in political office. How long before the EPA and Obama EO take over the management of food producing regions currently under GOP control? Well, I guess they already have with onerous EPA regulations in the thousands - with more in the works.
The states must continue suing the Feds to combat this liberal lie and job/economy/national security killer. Texas is doing their part on that front, and is not letting up. Texas is front and center in many lawsuits: Texas leads coalition of states in lawsuit against Obama immigration actions
So the state media laughs and tells the nation that southerners are stupid, that Texans gets the gold star of stupidity for electing stupid Rick Perry as governor repeatedly since 2000 (be sure to avert your gaze from Texas' outstanding and growing economy!).
Stupid, stupid, stupid right-wing extremists continue to deny manipulated climate change computer models - that is, when we're not busy being racists, homophobes, Christians, anti-women, anti-science, anti-government, anti-education, pro-military, pro-2nd Amendment, pro-Israel....

Lysenkoism was built on theories of the heritability of acquired characteristics that Lysenko named "Michurinism". These theories depart from accepted evolutionary theory and Mendelian inheritance.
Lysenkoism is used metaphorically to describe the manipulation or distortion of the scientific process as a way to reach a predetermined conclusion as dictated by an ideological bias, often related to social or political objectives."..... Lysenkoism

And millions starved to death (and denying scientists - "disrupting the democratic order of the people" - were imprisoned and killed).
Women, children, dims, GOPe'rs, Freepers, islamics, mormons, illegals and legals will all freeze.
Climate "scientists" are Grubering the folks.
And don’t forget, farmers.
>>Those districts also likely face the most severe climate changes.....
“Climate” does affect individual districts differently. Climate Change, aka Fundamentalist Gaia Worship, is a stupid religion.
“Red States Are Getting a New Shade of Redder-people who deny climate change most likely to suffer”
Off-topic here, but the first thing this headline made me think was that it could have been written as follows:
“Red States Are Getting a New Shade of Redder-people who want to be allowed to keep their guns and their magazines”
...and don’t think that’s not happening, because it is. It is getting VERY HARD for Blue-State companies to recruit from Red States now (at least I suspect as much, given my family’s preferences), while no problem the other way. Those Blue States are starting to pay a price for their draconian gun control.
What do the liberal bigots at Slate have against “red” people?
That bears repeating.
——His climate-skeptic position is ironicand dangerous for his very constituents.——
Oh noes...dangerous....
In what way....crops will grow better with more CO2...?
Journalists & Academics Hardest Hit!!!
So good!
A large serving of pap for breakfast. Yuck!
Guess I’ll fry up sausage and scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Climate Change? CO2 is plant food.
Slate: what a piece of rubbish
Us “deniers” know how God will wind things up, and this ain’t it. In fact, God will cause environmental catastrophe after environmental catastrophe before He destroys everything completely.
Climate change could harm corn, soy, wheat, and cattle production,affecting U.S. and global food supplies. In other words,the effects of political polarization and Republican aversion to climate action could harm everyone...Not the babies aborted by the Demagogic Party.
