Illinois: Democrat congressional candidate David Gill suggests that compared to the issue of trace amounts of CO2, all other issues will "become moot"

Gill launches Congressional campaign with jab at Johnson | News-Gazette.com

Gill said the premier issue facing the United States is climate change.

Johnson's "view of the world shifts with the winds of political polling," the Democrat said. "We can't afford that for many reasons. The most important is that he's going to realize that when he sticks his finger into the wind and comes to the conclusion that we need to preserve our land and water in this world, it's going to be too late. There are a lot of people who believe it's too late already, that we have already passed the tipping point when it comes to global climate change.

"I can't think of an issue that's more important. All of this other stuff will become moot."
