Obama was both a state senator and a us senator.

said White, who holds academic degrees in East Asian studies and comparative literature.
Ferdinand Magellan didn’t have a degree in Cartography.
Isaac Newton didn’t have a degree in Physics.
Shakespeare didn’t have a degree in Theatre.
Bill Gates didn’t have a degree in Computer Science.
In fact, none of these people even had a college education. I’m not saying this lady is on par with any of them, but a college degree does not equal knowledge of a particular subject nor lack of another.

She was a chair of the TCEQ for like 6 or 7 years.
And there you go. Neither were very qualified.

It's unfortunate that the left has so politicized climate science. Naturally skeptics will emerge under such circumstances.

Yes...he held those titles. Pulled a Palin and quit before finishing his term, and then went on to vote "present" on almost any bill. He was too bothered or busy taking selfies and "organizing the community" to deal with anything of substance. Oh!...almost forgot. He is and has always been a slimy anti American Communist....so that takes up a lot of his time and energy. Not that that should be an excuse for his incompetence.

I can’t believe as much as republicans like to hunt they care so less about the environment

Kathleen Hartnett White testified before a Senate committee weighing her confirmation as chair of the Council on Environmental Quality at the White House. White, who is from Texas, reiterated her view that carbon dioxide is a “plant nutrient,” not a pollutant.
I mean are you doing denying this?

Rising temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels have benefited historic food production ($3 trillion in past 50 years) and will continue to do so in the future.
Without the yield-enhancing benefits of CO2 enrichment on agriculture, world food supply could fall short of world food demand by the year 2050.

CO2 is very beneficial to the earth. Don't buy into the fear-mongering of the climate change fanatics.

that is what is wrong with the state of politics today. If 10 out of 10 scientist said climate change was real a lot of GOP voters wouldn't care because it makes liberals melt. The health of our world be damned as long as liberals melt should be the GOP's new slogan against climate change.

Yep.

Washington earned a surveyor’s license at the College of William & Mary in Virginia but not a bachelor’s degree. And Lincoln didn’t attend college at all. Yet both are etched onto Mount Rushmore, a tribute to our greatest presidents.
Other presidents who never attended college were Andrew Jackson (1829-1837), Martin Van Buren (1837-1841), Zachary Taylor (1849-1850), Millard Fillmore (1850-1853), Andrew Johnson (1865-1869) and Grover Cleveland (1885-1889 and 1893-1897, the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms).

It is, dumbass. Without CO2, the planet would be uninhabitable.

if you don't believe in climate change caused by humans, why don't you run your car in a closed garage and hang out in there for a little while and tell me how that goes for you.
Your car= pollution by humans
your garage = the atmosphere of earth

Good. It's an advisory board and not everyone needs to be a scientist.
They put union members who have no business experience with business on corporate advisory boards. That bother you?

You do understand that CO2 is necessary for the most important chemical reaction on the planet, right?
