A Super PAC funded by liberal billionaire and environmentalist Tom Steyer has announced it will spend as much as $100 million this election season attacking Republicans in seven key states who it says are climate-science “deniers.”

The Republicans being targeted by Steyer’s political committee, NextGen Climate Action, include Govs. Rick Scott of Florida, Paul LePage of Maine and Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania, as well as GOP Senate candidates Cory Gardner in Colorado, Joni Ernst and Mark Jacobs in Iowa, Terri Lynn Land in Michigan and Scott Brown in New Hampshire.

These states – all of which President Barack Obama won in both 2008 and 2012 – also play an important role in 2016, given that Iowa and New Hampshire are early presidential nominating contests, and that Colorado and Florida are top general-election battlegrounds.

“Our goal is very clear – to impact the politics as it relates to climate change,” Chris Lehane, Steyer’s political adviser, told a group of reporters in unveiling NextGen Climate’s campaign strategy.

4. I have mixed feelings about this

I'm glad its supporting a good cause. But I hope we can elect more dems and get more liberals on the supreme court to shift important cases so that we can reduce the influence of big money in elections.
