Marco Rubio - The Wonder Boy Who Doesn't Know Earth's Age, Can't Say If Climate Influenced By Man

EDIT

Phil Plait, an astronomer and author, rebutted Rubio in Slate, saying there is no debate among the scientific community. "The truth is, our poles are melting. Nine of the hottest years on record have been in the past decade. Even a study funded by the oil magnate Koch Brothers found the Earth is warming up," he wrote.

"So, oddly enough, I take exception to what Senator Rubio said. There is no longer reasonable debate. All we see is denial. And the time for debate is long since past anyway; the science is in, and it's sound science. I'm tired of politicians equivocating and hemming and hawing about global warming. We need to stop fiddling while the world burns, and start putting out this fire."

Studies have shown global warming would indeed threaten Florida, with rising sea levels bringing flooding, that could cause widespread property damage, saltwater intrusion and other problems.

Under current projections, the Atlantic Ocean would swallow much of the Florida Keys in 100 years, the Miami Herald reported last year, citing a scientific study. Miami-Dade would become a chain of islands. Rubio, who recently declined to GQ to say how old the Earth is — "I'm not a scientist, man" — has taken on stances that find a comfortable home in his party.
