If the real climate scientists are correct,then climate change IS the EXISTENTIAL threat to all life as we know it,and addressing it trumps anything else on the table.
It wouldn't matter what else we did if the planet is pushed out of the zone of habitability.
By down-playing the seriousness of climate change,he might as well be James Inhofe.
