California: Family Water Alliance founder cold on global warming

The woman who started one of the most powerful grassroots water alliances in the state has now embarked on another crusade.

Sue Sutton, founder of Family Water Alliance, a coalition of farmers and others concerned about the future of agriculture and private property rights, is now fighting regulatory actions relating to human-caused climate change — at least until science convinces her global warming exists.

Sutton said the global warming hypothesis, which many claim lacks scientific validity, has serious impacts on legislation, regulations and taxes.

"It's a hoax," Sutton said. "As citizens of America, we really need to speak up."
