CNN's Tapper: Republican party 'acts as if climate change is not real'
The Hill ^ | September 11, 2017 | by Joe Concha

Posted on 09/11/2017 1:08:30 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said the Republican party "acts as if climate change is not real" in an interview with Sen. John McCain on Sunday.

"The Republican Party, as you know, generally speaking, acts as if climate change is not real," Tapper continued. "There are exceptions, you, your daughter, Meghan, the Republican mayor of Miami. But generally speaking, the president, the governor of Florida, et cetera, act as if it’s not real even though the overwhelming scientific consensus is that it’s real and it’s man made."

"Back in 2012 when Superstorm Sandy hit, your daughter Meghan McCain tweeted, 'So are we still going to go with climate change not being real, fellow Republicans?' "

"I don't know because I can't define their motives," replied McCain. "But I know that there are things happening with the climate in the world that is unprecedented. "

No, we admit that climate changes because it always has. We think man-caused climate change is a lie.

Climate change is real. Man-made climate change is debatable.

Goebbels Warming is not real.

The climate is ever changing and humans can’t control it.

“Climate change” is real, it’s just that (real science shows that) humans don’t appear to have a whole lot of impact on it, one way or the other...

If it wasn’t for climate change Chicago would still be under a mile of ice.

I don’t think it is debatable. Man made climate change does not exist.

Climate change has been occurring since the beginning of time. It's like the energizer bunny. The idea that we can control it is absurd.

As usual, follow the money.

All I want is Tapper to tell me if the Holocene, the 2d epoch of the Quaternary has ended and what’s his evidence?
Note the textbook definition of the Quaternary is the following:

The Quaternary Period is typically defined by the cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets associated with Milankovitch cycles and the associated climate and environmental changes that occurred.

Also I want him to tell me if we are in an interglacial temperate lull or not? And why he thinks not?

Additionally I want him to tell me if he thinks that last glaciation commonly know as the “Ice Age” was the last glaciation. If he says it the last and there will be no more I want to know why he thinks that? So if its not the last glaciation maybe we will need global warming? Why or why not?

All these reporters are, are ignoramuses with a TV platform!
