Rick "I'm Not A Scientist" Scott Won't Admit If He Thinks Climate Breakdown Is Man-Made Or Important

[hatrack]

Florida Gov. Rick Scott won't say whether he thinks man-made climate change is real and significant.

"I’m not a scientist," Scott said when asked about anthropogenic global warming during a Tuesday stop in Miami. Scott then talked about money for flood control and Everglades restoration.

Scott's refusal to weigh in on the issue contrasts with his position in 2011, when he said "I've not been convinced that there's any man-made climate change... Nothing's convinced me that there is."

So is Scott repositioning himself now, believing more in man-made climate change? Scott wouldn't say. "I'm not a scientist," Scott repeated, noting again his environmental record.

1. Scott wants to be reelected, so anything he says, he is just trying out to see what might resonate

with voters.
He is a politician, that's all.
