Mitt Romney has tried to inject some life and energy into his campaign and counter his own starchy stuffness and lack of connectivity with women by having Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)as his vice-presidential candidate.
And while Ryan at 42 may look good, he brings baggage, funding and ideas that look far from exciting.
He has consistently , as his voting record shows, denied that climate change is even real.
Ryan has accused scientists of engaging in conspiracy to "intentionally mislead the public on the issue of climate change." He has implied that snow invalidates global warming.
He is also a favorite of the Koch Brothers , and attended one of their strategy meetings in February this year so we can be sure there will be massive moneys flowing in the direction of the VP candidate who supports all the things Big Oil want.
The Sierra Club and many others have raised concerns and they have warned of the
consequences: “There is a reason big polluters have given Paul Ryan hundreds of thousands of dollars and why the Koch Brothers are one of his top donors," said Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune. "He’s tried to turn their wildest fantasies into law. From rejecting the reality of climate disruption to attacking good-paying clean energy jobs to trying to gut the EPA’s ability to protect our air, our water, and the health of our families, Ryan operates out of the dirty energy playbook.
"Big polluters have been financing Mitt Romney’s campaign," Brune continued, "calling the shots on his energy policy, and even serving as his debate surrogates. Of course, Mitt Romney could not add a Big Oil or Big Coal executive to his ticket, but by picking Paul Ryan, he’s done the next closest thing.”
The choice of Ryan's as the Republican vice presidential candidate comes as people in the US start to make connections between extreme weather events and climate change. It has almost pentrated their consciousness as the U.S. sweltered through its hottest month ever recorded. And as James Hansen blamed heat waves directly on climate change.
