Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin: "I'm convinced that when I go and fight a storm like Irene...that's when climate change is staring me in the face"

Democratic Governors: The States Must Lead On Climate Change
"I'm convinced that when I go and fight a storm like Irene," said Shumlin, "and I lose seven great Vermonters who die in a storm, and I see hundreds of Vermonters lose their homes, their businesses, every belonging they ever had, every photograph of their kids they ever had, and I'm out there giving them hugs and wishing I could restore their lives — but I know I can't — that's when climate change is staring me in the face."

The governor is a moron. Earth's climate has been changing for 4 billion years -- all naturally. Mankind's impact on the climate via fossil fuel emissions is so minuscule, it's not even measureable. Compared to the impact of the sun, the tiny amounts of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere by humans are the equivalent of a fart in a hurricane. The governor needs to spend more time doing his homework and less time listening to ill-informed agenda-driven alarmists.
