Former Irish president Robinson: Climate change deniers should see what I’ve seen - Chicago Sun-Times

Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland, tells people things they don’t want to hear.

Robinson brought a message for climate change deniers in the United States: Follow her to the third world and see the impact of climate change.

Told that all major Republican candidates for U.S. president save one – former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman – say they are not convinced that man-made carbon emissions are changing the climate, Robinson shook her head and said, “That does not do the United States any credit internationally.”

“I wish that some of the deniers from this country would actually go and spend a week in some of the communities that I’m in frequently, where the rains don’t come any more, or there’s prolonged drought and then flash-flooding,” Robinson said. “The climate shocks in poor communities are very, very significant. It does bother me when I hear people who have no perception of that denying that the climate is changing.”
