Aw! GOP Rep Of Rapidly Sinking FL District Haz A Sad About Pruitt's Scientific Idiocy

He's "concerned" - ooh, that'll sting!

A Republican congressman has told Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt to “reevaluate” his statement that carbon dioxide is not a “primary contributor” to climate change.

In a letter to Pruitt released on Monday, Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) said he is “concerned” about Pruitt’s comments from earlier this month, which “contradict the conclusions not only of our best scientists but of your own agency.”

Curbelo said Pruitt should reconsider the comments and invited him to visit his south Florida district, which he says has already been affected by climate change.

“Reasonable people can disagree about how to respond to the risks of climate change. But there should be little disagreement that it is something that must be done,” Curbelo wrote in his letter, sent Friday.
