March 11, 2015 - Mother Jones: Scott Walker Is the Worst Candidate for the Environment

"Now (for the moment, anyway), he's a leading contender for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. At the Conservative Political Action Conference a couple weeks ago, he polled a close second to three-time winner Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), beating the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by a significant margin.

It probably won't surprise you to learn that none of the prospective GOP presidential candidates are exactly champions of the environment. Probably the least bad is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who at least acknowledges that climate change is real and caused by human activity. Walker just might be the worst. He hasn't said much about the science of global warming. (In the video above, you can watch him tell a little kid that his solution to the problem will center on keeping campsites clean, or something.) But his track record of actively undermining pro-environment programs and policies while supporting the fossil fuel industry is arguably lengthier and more substantive than that of his likely rivals.

"He really has gone after every single piece of environmental protection: Land, air, water—he's left no stone unturned," said Kerry Schumann, executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters. "It's hard to imagine anyone has done worse."

Here's a rundown of Walker's inglorious history of anti-environmentalism....."

Climate fanatics slam the so called “climate deniers,” because there is nothing left to support their argument. Global warming wasn’t working, so it was rebranded “climate change,” making it a smaller target for evidence to hit, since no one knows what to aim at. How dare anyone deny climate. ...The deniers are the only honest people, if not the only sane people, left in the debate. The left has jumped off the anthropogenic cliff.

Slammed? “War on science”? Climate denier?
Amazing language when you don’t agree with the left.

Conservatives need to learn how to present TRUE SCIENCE as a witness AGAINST Global Warming.

The first observation is that if “Global Warming” had any scientific basis the control freaks on the left wouldn’t have felt compelled to change the name to “Climate Change” to continue the lie.

Obviously, the Left is really, really worried about Scott Walker.

But why? I thought Hillary was already running away with the race? No need to attack Republicans then, if its already decided in her favor.

Seems the Left doubts that Hillary can pull it off. Best guess, they’ve done a LOT of internal polling and focus groups, and Hillary came off with big negative numbers.

No wonder her campaign is doing everything they can to keep her away from the public!

Walker 2016!!

To be expected from the Capital Crimes...the same leftist rag that proclaimed our pilots in the Viet Nam War as “pirates”.

It is astounding to see the propaganda prowess of the Left. They sell their ideas with amazing effectiveness. Very quickly they have convinced the majority that the “Weather” is our greatest enemy and “same sex marriage” is normal. This is stunning and frightening. Their power to persuade is creating an incredibly dangerous and dysfunctional world. And they have much more of their distorted deranged ideology they wish to impose on US.If Traditional American Values are not sold with the same effectiveness...we truly are lost.

Stick with what you know, dirt bag, and shove your junk science up your $&@. You're a Golfstream Commie like George Soros.
