It wasn't the first time, & Pataki agreed.
Watch Republican Presidential Candidates Try to Talk Sense to Their Party About Climate Change
By Jordan Weissmann
During the Republican undercard debate Wednesday night, the moderators decided to pin down Sen. Lindsey Graham by pointing out that, unlike many in his party, he is wiling to accept mainstream climate science (and willing to accept tax increases as part of a budget deal with Democrats, and offer undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship).
Graham, who had spent most of the economics-focused debate trying to change the subject to national security—at one point literally shaking his fist at China—decided to take the question head on. The result: he somewhat unusual scene of a Republican presidential candidate trying to deliver some real talk to his party.
I think I'm trying to solve problems that somebody better solve. Now, you don't have to believe that climate change is real. I have been to the Antarctic, I've been to Alaska. I'm not a scientist, and I've got the grades to prove it. But I've talked to the climatologists and they tell me that greenhouse gas effect is real, that we're heating up the planet. I just want a solution that would be good for the economy that doesn't destroy it.
