Bobby Jindal: “I’d Leave It To The Scientists”

Bobby Jindal, the Republican governor of Louisiana, was a biology major in college. He was named to the 1992 USA Today All-USA Academic Team and got a Masters degree from Oxford.

But as ClimateProgress’ Joe Romm notes, he still “pleads total ignorance” when it comes to how much human activity contributes to global warming and how serious it is. “I’d leave it to the scientists to decide how much, what it means, and what the consequences are,” he said. “Let the scientists debate and figure that out.”

Of course, the scientists have already figured it out. According to the National Climate Assessment, Lousiana has already lost 1,880 square miles of land in the last 80 years, and is on track to continue losing a football field of land every hour if carbon emissions continue at their current pace. Jindal, meanwhile, opposes efforts to curb greenhouse gas pollution.
