Kevin Grandia | Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman Believes in Global Cooling

Bob Stallman, head of the American Farm Bureau Federation, has declared that the earth is cooling in testimony Tuesday before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. So it must be true.

...Missing entirely from Stallman’s testimony was any mention of the many significant challenges farmers will face if we FAIL to address climate change. Droughts, torrential rains and storms are just a few examples of global warming consequences that will negatively affect agriculture. Farmers could pay a steep price for the stall-and-kill lobbying efforts of the Farm Bureau if Congress fails to pass strong, science-based legislation to combat climate change.
