Paul LePage, the Republican's (and Tea Party) candidate for Governor in the State of Maine is on the record as early as two weeks ago stating that there is still no scientific agreement on the realities of global warming.
This is of course despite decades of research by some of the top scientific academies in the world like the US Academy of Science, NASA and the Royal Society.
Here's what LePage had to say in recent interview:
"Next one is very difficult, is true science. I've been listening about global warming for years. You have the pros and the cons. Quite frankly, we need to get our scientific community to come up to a baseline of common agenda, a common understanding of where we are. Science has to be proven to be fact and if the science is not true, is not true then it's rhetoric."
By LePages' defintition, the only rhetoric is from those who continue to say climate change isn't happening despite a complete lack of scientific evidence to back up their claim.
