State Sen. Mike Jungbauer
No Republican contenders in the 2010 gubernatorial contest — except environmental activist Leslie Davis — believe in global warming, according to a report from Minnesota Public Radio. Perhaps most strident is state Sen. Mike Jungbauer (East Bethel), who told attendees at a recent State Fair debate that global warming is “pure, unadulterated BS.”
While the other GOP contenders were less colorful in their declarations, none would own up to believing that climate change owing to human activity is a credible, significant issue. House Minority Leader Marty Seifert (Marshall) declared such concerns to be “theoretical.” Rep. David Hann (Eden Prairie) labeled global warming an “excuse” to shift towards alternative energy sources.
Their stance is in contrast to current Gov. Tim Pawlenty — as well as mainstream scientific opinion.
There is, however, one Republican gubernatorial hopeful who acknowledges the validity of global warming: Leslie Davis, a perennial candidate and environmental activist. He’s highly unlikely to end up being the party’s nominee.

This just goes to show that most Republicans have a set and aren’t afraid to state the obvious. Now if they can just get a leader of their party to do the same…

Have a “set” of what? Marbles? It is so sad that so many politicians, people who make decisions that affect us all, maintain no common sense. Is such backward thinking (or lack thereof) something we want representing us in our state and country?
A story like this goes to show how poor our educational system has become.

It’s hard to imagine supporting someone to lead a state if they have so little science background and so little respect for the broad scientific consensus among real scientists that they’d deny as false what the scientists say is true.
Perhaps they ought go talk with University of Minnesota faculty who are experts in the matter, learn something, become aware of the power of science to inform and improve public debate and policy.

It also goes to show how Mac and Mill have been brainwashed by the compliant mainstream media into believing all the doomsday stories concerning global warming. Do some online research yourselves and you will see the emperor has no clothes and Republicans are right to denounce it.
BTW, the “real” scientists have known for years this was unjustifiable scaremongering but didn’t speak up then and because of that oversight the scam was allowed to get legs. Thinking people reject the dogma not on principle, but on science.

All you need to know about which side of the debate is rejecting evidence based on ideology is to look at who is funding the “research” and hosting the “forums” to spread their message. Exxon oil and the American Property Coalition fund the side that does not believe in global climate change.

The Global Warming fraud is being used to set up the biggest fraud of all.
The Fraudulent Global Warming: With the alkaline blood types in particular, the body uses compensation or buffer measure to bring down the blood pH and that mechanism is to retain carbon dioxide (CO2). It is not the fraudulent “Global Warming”, an “increase of carbon dioxide in the environment” that is causing humans to die off. The fraudulent “global warming” science explains that the elevated CO2 level in blood is caused by increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere/environment particularly in the last 50 years. This is used for evidence the “carbon cycle” is causing the alkaline blood types O and A to go into extinction first, followed by blood type B.
The last disclosure of blood type distribution was about 50 years ago, when the alkaline blood types were at a higher prevalence and the acidic blood type B was at a lower prevalence in populations. //// The upcoming disclosure of blood type distribution reveals decreasing blood types A/O prevalence and increasing type B prevalence will “prove” that CO2 levels are rising. (See above section on current blood type distribution in the United States.) In truth this is evidence populations are dying off, have been in negative population growth, with much of the world in the final extermination phase for generations now. The last remaining nations, the Western nations, were set up in the final extermination phase in 2005. Like the United States, these western nations’ populations peaked in about 1979-1980.
The remaining blood type AB, the only normal healthy blood, will be the ones to survive; hence — “survival of the fittest”.
