Guess the party affiliation.

The GOP gubernatorial candidate in PA said a woman asking him about climate change was “young and naive.” He has said human body heat and the Earth spiraling toward the sun are contributing to global warming.

GOP candidate calls woman 'naive' for asking about climate

Scott Waldman, E&E News reporter

Climatewire: Friday, July 20, 2018

Body heat is making Earth warmer, and climate change is caused by the planet's movement toward the sun.

Those are the claims of Pennsylvania's Republican gubernatorial candidate, former state Sen. Scott Wagner. At a town hall event on Wednesday in Glenside, Pa., he described a teenage woman as "young and naive" when she asked about his positions on climate change. Wagner told her he cared more about fixing sewage overflows than about reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

"You said climate is a result of people's body heat and refusing to take action on the issue," said Rose Strauss, an 18-year-old activist. "Does this have anything to do with the $200,000 that you have taken from the fossil fuel industry?"

Wagner, standing before a small crowd, responded: "Rose, I appreciate you being here, but you're 18 years old; you know you're a little young and naive. Rose, I appreciate you being here, but here's the question: Are we here to elect a governor, or are we here to elect a scientist? I'm here to be the governor." ... The audience clapped and laughed when Wagner called her naive. Someone in the crowd yelled, "Answer the question."

Young woman at town hall to GOP candidate: Does the $200k you've taken from fossil fuel interests explain why you claim climate change is caused by "body heat"?

Politician: "You're young and naive."

When @sunrisemvmt volunteer Rose Strauss asked @realScottWagner about his absurd climate stance, he called her “young and naive.” Behind Scott’s patronizing sexism are hundreds of thousands of dollars from the fossil fuel industry.

2. Remember the story. . .

of Trump deciding to run for President because Obama teased him at some event?

Rose Strauss. Remember the name.

Scott Wagner will learn who he is dealing with.


(FYI, never heard of the young woman, but I have a gut feeling on this.)
