| Naresh -- Break out the tin foil hats, folks. House Speaker John Boehner and the chairman of the House Science Committee are both unsure whether the science behind climate change -- the stuff that shows pretty clearly that carbon pollution produced by humans is damaging our environment -- is real. Instead, they're on the record saying things like this: "The idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you've got more carbon dioxide." - John Boehner, April 2009 As long as our members of Congress continue to develop their own theories behind climate change, we will fall further and further behind in our ability to make actual progress on this issue. Make them do better. Add your name to join OFA's team that will hold climate deniers in Congress accountable: http://my.barackobama.com/Hold-Climate-Deniers-Accountable We owe it to our environment and our economy to start having real talk on climate change. Join us -- and we'll be in touch with next steps soon. Thanks, Messina Jim Messina Chair Organizing for Action |
