The Honolulu Star Advertiser printed an AP article claiming that most Republican presidential candidates were flunking climate science.
The article was written by Seth Borenstein of the Associated Press on November 22, 2015. The article is titled: AP FACT CHECK: Most GOP candidates flunk climate science (Click on this link for the full story.)
The Associated Press requested eight climate and biological scientists to grade the scientific accuracy of what a dozen of the top presidential candidates said during debates, interviews and tweets. To make sure there was no bias, political names were removed from all the statements.
The results were:
Hillary Clinton 94
Martin O'Malley 91
Bernie Sanders 87
Jeb Bush 64
Chris Christie 54
John Kasich 47
Rand Paul 38
Carly Fiorina 28
Marco Rubio 21
Donald Trump 15
Ben Carson 13
Ted Cruz 6
I thought this was rather interesting. Doesn't matter. I suppose Trump supporters will still vote for him. What the heck?

It does amaze me that so called intelligent people would deny the science supported by 99% of climate researchers.
ReplyDeleteI find that frightening.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's scary. Even scarier that others believe the misinformation (or bluntly, lies) that are being stated as facts.
ReplyDeleteI just saw an article about some town in North Carolina where they voted down a solar farm because it would "suck up all the sunshine." And these people vote! :-(
ReplyDeleteSome people make it hard to support a democratic society. I wonder how long ignorance will be considered bliss?
ReplyDeleteTrump is scary.
ReplyDeleteYes, what the heck but I am not surprised.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm sure some of these would fail a test in any area that was thrown at them.
ReplyDeleteIs there any Republican who believes in any kind of science? Most of them don't believe the climate can change because a over-sized white male with a beard (and a terrible definition of unconditional "love") controls everything.
ReplyDeleteI love Olga's comment. I second that!
ReplyDeleteI just watched a bit of the Republican debate on TV tonight. The candidates at the bottom of this list are the ones who are just the most sure they are right!
Sad.
ReplyDeleteits a strange world out there in more than one way....
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sorry state of affairs.
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh!
