Pataki: Bothers Me That GOP ‘Questions Science That Everyone Accepts’

 

George Pataki tonight admitted that he differs with many other Republicans when it comes to issues of climate change and other scientific matters.

At the CNBC undercard debate, Pataki said, “One of the things that troubles me about the Republican party is too often we question science that everyone accepts.”

He invoked crazy anti-vaccine views and said that it’s “not appropriate to think that human activity… doesn’t make the earth warmer, it does!”
