LA Times: Last week, the White House issued a new and alarming edition of its national report on climate change. How did leading Republicans respond? Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the GOPs leader in the Senate, scoffed at President Obama for talking about the weather, dismissing the issue as a hobbyhorse of liberal elites ... who leave a giant carbon footprint and then lecture everybody else about low-flow toilets. After pointing out that the president is not a meteorologist, Sen. Marco Rubio,...

Time: Good news for Marco Rubio fans! The junior Senator from Florida is ready to be President, according to, um, the junior Senator from Florida himself. Rubio may or may not be ready to hold the most powerful job in the world, but one thing is clear: He`s certainly prepared to run for it, at least in the modern Republican Party. If there was any doubt on that score, it was settled during an interview on ABC News on Sunday, when he checked one of the most important boxes on any GOP hopeful`s job application:...
John Oliver on climate change skeptics: You dont need peoples opinions on a fact

Washington Post: On his new HBO show last night, funny guy John Oliver addressed an imbalance in how news shows handle whatever "debate" there is regarding climate change. Standard procedure, he noted, was to fire up a panel with someone who believes the warnings about troublesome climate trends pitted against a skeptic. Wrong approach: To represent just how vastly climate change "believers"/scientists outnumber the skeptics, Oliver hauled in 96 scientists - plus Bill Nye the Science Guy - to oppose the three climate-change...

New Republic: Marco Rubio, as you may have heard, has issued yet another blunt rejection of the whole notion of man-made climate change. Well, yeah, I don't agree with the notion that some are putting out there, including scientists, that somehow there are actions we can take today that would actually have an impact on what's happening in our climate, he said yesterday on ABCs This Week. He continued: Our climate is always changing. And what they have chosen to do is take a handful of decades of research...

A Senate race aboutclimate change!

Washington Post: Dem Rep. Gary Peters, who is running for Senate in Michigan, is calling on GOP foe Terri Lynn Land to take a stand on whether she believes human activity is responsible for global warming. It may seem far fetched, but climate change could actually be an issue in this one Senate race, because of two factors: The centrality of the Great Lakes to the Michigan economy; and the huge expenditures on behalf of Land by the political group founded by Charles and David Koch. Land`s spokesperson, in a statement...
