Reality denier: From his ivory tower perch, with maybe 6% of Americans still with him, Cornell professor Charles Greene urges students to elect candidates who believe in the climate hoax

Cornell Professors Chime In on Issues in Tuesday’s Elections | The Cornell Daily Sun

Prof. Charles Greene, earth and atmospheric sciences, on global climate change:

“Global climate change is the greatest challenge confronting your generation. Society has avoided making the necessary changes for too long, and now we find ourselves in a much more precarious position than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggested only a few years ago. We face the inescapable truth that strong actions must be taken by your generation during the next few decades to prevent dangerous greenhouse warming and ocean acidification by the end of the century. Is there still hope? Absolutely, but only if the climate-change debate is no longer allowed to be held hostage by politics. We can’t allow politicians in the pockets of special interests or driven by ideology, rather than science, to continue using climate change as a divisive wedge issue. If there is going to be a political game-changer, then I think that it is going to arise when your generation mobilizes to support Congressional representatives demanding strong climate and energy legislation. Why not Tuesday?”

Flashback: Do 94% of Americans now disagree with Al Gore on global warming?

As the German Marshall Fund's Transatlantic Trends finds, only six percent of Americans list fighting climate change as a top priority for their country, while 20 percent of Europeans think it should be on the top of the list for their leaders
