EU climate scam commissioner takes fossil-fueled long-haul flight to America; criticizes US citizens for not being stupid enough to believe in the global warming hoax

Climate commissioner admonishes USA for climate change denial

EU climate commissioner Connie Hedegaard had strong words for the USA – especially the country’s political opposition and conservative presidential candidates – for refusing to take responsibility for climate change.

“I’m shocked that the political debate in the US is so far away from the scientific facts,” Connie Hedegaard, a member of Denmark's Conservative party, told Politiken newspaper last weekend. "It’s difficult to see the bright side,” in the American climate debate, she added.

”When more than 90 percent of researchers in the field are saying that we have to take [climate change] seriously, it is incredibly irresponsible to ignore it. It’s hard for a European to understand how it has become so fashionable to be anti-science in the USA,” Hedegaard told Politiken. "And when you hear American presidential candidates denying climate change, it’s difficult to take.”

Hedegaard was in the US last week to meet with world leaders gathered for the UN General Assembly in New York and to formulate plans for COP17, the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Durban, South Africa, at the end of November.
