The bad news for Climate Voters coming out of Iowa this week is Marco Rubio had a strong night. Unlike Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, Rubio is the Koch Brothers candidate because he can win in November.
The Koch Brothers are Charles and David Koch. They are heavily invested in fossil fuels and collectively, they are worth more than $100 Billion.
Rubio is the Koch Brothers candidate because if he takes the White House, the Koch Brothers and all their fossil fuel investments will be moving in. Already endorsed by Senator Snowball, aka Jim Inhofe, the man who brought a snowball into Senate chambers to demonstrate climate change is a lie, Rubio, if elected President, will be turning climate denial into climate policy.
Taking orders from the Kochs, he may appoint Senator Snowball, author of The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future, as the head of the EPA where he could personally dismantle all the emission reduction regulations that Obama has put in place. After all, if climate change is a hoax, we don't need to do anything about it.
Rubio will be the Koch Brothers candidate because he is the GOP establishment candidate and the Koch Brothers, with their pledge of spending almost a $1 Billion on the 2016 election, have taken over the GOP. They have made climate denial a litmus test for GOP leadership. Witness how quickly Rubio distanced himself from previous positive statements he made about Cap and Trade, while serving as the Florida Speaker of the House.
After he is elected, the Kochs will command Rubio to dismantle the Clean Power Plan, pull out of the climate agreement with China and the international climate agreement ironed out in Paris last December and re-open public lands to coal mining. Lastly, he will undo any progress Obama will make regulating methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
If Rubio is elected and allowed to enact these policies, he will go down in history as the man who stopped global climate action and condemned future generations to climate misery. Climate Voters, Rubio must be stopped. If you have the opportunity, vote Cruz or Trump.
