Rubio, Scott and all of the Kings men need to GO. Marco Rubio, senator from Florida Category: Born-Again Flat-Earther Like a lot of ambitious Republicans, Rubio tacitly accepted the science of climate change back in 2007. He talked up renewable energy and referred to global warming as one of the reasons to embrace it. By 2009, he had seen the error of his ways, saying, Theres a significant scientific dispute about climate change. By 2010, he was using his Republican primary opponent Charlie Crists belief in man-made global warming as an attack line. In May 2014, Rubio made an inept effort to deny climate science, saying, Our climate is always changing. And what they have chosen to do is take a handful of decades of research and say that this is now evidence of a longer-term trend thats directly and almost solely attributable to manmade activities. Ah, merely a handful of decades of research. Thats nothing, right? After getting a lot of blowback for those comments, he tried to clarify and just dug himself in deeper. Notable quote: I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it. (2014) (LCV score: 11 percent)
