Op Ed - Rubio's Credibility Melting Like Antarctic Ice Sheet
EDIT
Let's apply thought-provoking to Marco Rubio. Sen. Rubio believes in climate change but that mankind plays no role. He has given this problem much thought and believes that he has sniffed out the cause. As a result he will soon ask the agriculture committee to chew its cud on the deleterious effects, to the atmosphere, of cow flatulence. This is sure to cause a flap in the dairy industry! Having found the cause, Rubio thinks that the ruminant's methane is just another form of natural gas and, while possibly harmful to the ozone layer, has no connection to man's demand for meat, milk and leather.
Rubio has had many thoughts in the past. First he thought that lying about his family's political refugee status and "escape" from Cuba would get him Hispanic votes, but that backfired, and he backed off. Then he thought that championing immigration was good for his aspirations, but that backfired and he backed off.
Now Rubio's thoughts on global warming are that he can simply "blame it on the bovines." He dismisses the consensus of climate scientists, the United Nations' report on climate change and the National Aeronatics and Space Administration's National Climate Assessment, all of which state that humans are the primary cause of global warming. I guess the poor maligned cows need a lobbyist to steer the public clear of Rubio's bull.
Nobody ever said that thoughtfulness had to have an element of good timing. Otherwise Rubio may have waited for the dust to settle on the recent revelation that the West Antarctica Ice Sheet is damaged beyond recovery. I think Rubio's reputation may soon suffer the same fate. His seriousness seems to be dissipating into the ozone layer.
