This Republican Wants To Stop Debating Climate Change: ‘I’d Just Like To Be Prepared’
For a Republican from Florida, Rep. Curt Clawson does not sound like a Republican from Florida — at least when it comes to human-caused climate change. The freshman Tea Party Congressman said he’d rather not have that debate, and instead talk about solutions. “All the chatter about is climate change real or not, I’m not sure how that helps my constituents,” said Clawson, whose district includes areas of South Florida that are particularly susceptible to sea level rise and storm surge. “I’d just like to be prepared for the next hurricane.”
