Billionaire hedge fund manager and green power advocate Tom Steyer is taking Gov. Scott Walker to task, accusing the Republican presidential hopeful of being a pawn for fossil fuel interests and a climate change denier.
In a full page ad running in the Wisconsin State Journal Tuesday, Steyer’s group NextGen Climate blasts the state’s GOP leadership for promoting a “war on science” by banning work on climate change.
The group calls out Walker specifically for staying silent on the issue and for signing a Koch-backed anti-climate change pledge.
“Fossil fuel interests like the Koch Brothers have made millions while opposing solutions to climate change,” the ad says. “They’re protecting their profits by bankrolling Big Oil politicians like Scott Walker.”
Steyer, who during the 2014 election cycle pledged to spend $100 million on environmental issues, has largely ignored Walker to this point. Instead, his advocacy front group has focused on better-known GOP contenders like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
But reports last week on a measure to prohibit staff at the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands from engaging in global warming or climate change discussions sparked the ad buy here.

A native New Yorker now residing in San Francisco, Steyer has come under fire from the right for making some of his money off the Asian and Australian coal markets. He retired from the money management business in 2012 and has an estimated net worth of $1.6 billion.

The ONLY, ONE, accurate question should consistently be: “What caused the warming that ended the recent Glacial period?”
You see, climate folks all agree in the historicity of the glacial period. So, what happened?
Most responses will be within a a line of argument I call “anthropogenic historicity”; meaning, history has no real beginning until man began to observe/record it. [REF: Ozone “hole” over the South Pole]
To be expected from the Capital Crimes...the same leftist rag that proclaimed our pilots in the Viet Nam War as “pirates”.
Where’s the proof the world is warming? Same junk science as Acid Rain, Ozone hole growth & DDT scare.
Pray America is waking
Yet another reason I like Walker!
Sounds like “war on religion” and Bible denier.
That’s because environmentalism is their religion. Those without God in their lives find something else to worship.
I’m still waiting for someone to show me the earth’s owner’s manual to find out what the optimum temperature should be.
It’s not just a matter of them being scared of Walker.
Its partly battlefield prep. They’re laying the foundations for Global Warming (and the larger “War on Science”) to be accepted as a major campaign issue this cycle.
Theyre also using Walker as an example of what happens to people who get labled as “deniers”. Read the section of Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game” where Ender decribes why he viscuously beat a bully (to death, as it turns out) as a matter of strategy: it wasn’t really about the thrill of putting down the bully, it was about coldly sending a clear message to all the other potential bullies ...
If the Moonbats are foaming at the mouths and calling him names, I am all for him!
Rainy today, sunny tomorrow.
There is no denying that climate change is real.
Stick with what you know, dirt bag, and shove your junk science up your $&@. You're a Golfstream Commie like George Soros.
