Every Single GOPer On House Energy Cmte Won't Say Climate Change Is Real

[RandySF]

Thirty-one Republicans on the House Energy And Commerce Committee -- the entire Republican contingent on the panel -- declined on Tuesday to vote in support of the very idea that climate change exists.

Democrats on the panel had suggested three amendments that said climate change is a real thing, is caused by humans and has potentially dire consequences for the future. The amendments came on a Republican bill to block the EPA from offering regulations to mitigate the results of global climate shifts. The global scientific community is in near unanimous agreement that climate change is real, and that humans contribute to it.

None of the 31 Republicans on the committee would vote yes on any of the amendments (Rep. Marsha Blackburn declined to vote on one.) The committee's 21 Democrats voted yes on all three.

7. The republican party is the last remaining denier of global warming..

...on earth. Every other right wing political party on earth admits that global warming is man made, and a problem. Same with every scientific organization on earth.

Republicans are driven by fear. Denial is driven by fear. A lot of republicans reacted to global warming by running out and buying huge gas guzzling 4x4 pickups. Classic denial. My doctor once told me that some people when they are having a heart attack will drop down and start doing pushups to prove they are not having a heart attack. Of course the pushups only make the heart attack worse. Classic denial.
