North Carolina: Brainwashed political science student allegedly walks through knee-deep water; blames carbon dioxide

Climate change bill draws handful of protesters

About a half dozen protesters and about as many news reporters, congregated Tuesday outside the legislative building in Raleigh. The demonstrators held signs proclaiming “You can’t hide the truth” and “Don’t put short-term profit before the safety of our coastal communities.” Duke graduate student Ethan Case brought a meter-long sign to physically represent scientists’ warnings.

...“I’ve personally already witnessed all of the disasters that come from flooding on the coast,” said Cristina Benavides, political science senior at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. “Last year, when I was walking to class at UNC Wilmington I had to walk through water on campus that reached up to my knees. If these are already the effects we see now, we can’t ignore the disastrous implications of not incorporating climate change science.”
