| Carl, |
| You've
heard of the Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys -- but have you heard about the Stone
Age Awards? |
| This
week, NextGen Climate is calling out climate change denying politicians who
continue to spout puzzling, embarrassing, and grossly misinformed prehistoric
statements about the scientific facts of climate change and presenting them with
a Stone Age Award. |
| But
in order to make the awards a success we need your help selecting the first set
of winners for this prehistoric (and not so prestigious) award. |
 |
| Voting
ends Sunday morning when we will announce the winner. Here are the leading
candidates: |
| Florida
Governor Rick Scott cries, "I'm not a scientist," and refuses to accept
that climate change is a real and present threat, even though Florida is on the
frontlines of climate change. Vote
Now. |
| Iowa
Senate candidate Joni Ernst claims, "I don't know the science behind
climate change," while benefiting from over $4.5 million dollars worth of ads by
Big Oil barons the Koch brothers. Vote
Now. |
| Colorado
Congressman Cory Gardner has repeatedly suggested that climate change
is not a real issue, and even voted to deny the reality of climate change.
Vote
Now. |
| Michigan
Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land has shown skepticism on the role of
humans in causing climate change, and she refuses to meet with residents of the
most polluted zip code in Michigan to discuss how pollution has impacted their
lives. Vote
Now. |
New
Hampshire Senate candidate Scott Brown said at an August debate that he
didn't even believe the science of climate change has been proven. As a senator
from Massachusetts, he voted three times to protect billions of dollars in tax
breaks for Big Oil companies.
Vote
Now. |
| Maine
Governor Paul LePage not only ignores that climate change is a threat,
but he also believes it could actually offer Maine "a lot of opportunities."
Vote
Now. |
| Climate
change isn't some far-fetched theory -- it's a scientific fact confirmed by 97
percent of scientists and NASA. Yet that hasn't stopped Republicans with
prehistoric agendas from denying the science with a straight face. |
| Vote
now for the politician who most deserves NextGen Climate's Stone Age
Award. |
