USDA Secretary - More Blindingly Stupid Than You Even Thought Possible On Climate

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue dismissed the climate crisis as a mere weather problem on Tuesday.

“It rained yesterday, it’s a nice pretty day today,” he said, speaking with CNN.

Asked what he thought caused climate change, Perdue said, “I think it’s weather patterns, frankly.”

Perdue also admitted he wasn’t sure whether President Donald Trump accepted the science on climate change. “He’s a golfer, so sometimes he knows he gets rained out and sometimes it doesn’t, but the long term consequences, I don’t know,” he said.
