Blaine Luetkemeyer Needs to Stop All This "Junk Science"

I'm not sure what he can do, but I sure hope esteemed climatologist Blaine Luetkemeyer figures out a way to hide this "junk science" from the public:

The Union of Concerned Scientists reported today that Missouri will encounter hotter summers, heavier downpours and significant challenges to agriculture if something isn’t done about the increase in pollution from the burning of fossil fuels.

By the end of the century, St. Louis could experience more than 100 days each summer with high temperatures above 90 degrees, and almost a month-and-a-half of days over 100 degrees, the scientist group predicted...

Missouri agriculture would face significant challenges with crops and livestock undergoing more heat stress, the report concluded. Although warmer winters would extend the growing season, they also would expand the range of pests, such as the corn earworm, that reduce crop yields.

“Crop production would be inhibited by changing rain patterns such as wetter springs, which delay planting and increase flood risk, and 20 percent less rain during the increasingly hot summers,” the report said.

“The possibility of crop-damaging heat waves becoming commonplace in Missouri within a few decades represents a significant threat to the state’s economy, which took in nearly $1.2 billion from corn alone in 2007,” it said.

The report also said rainfall would increasingly come as heavy downpours that increase runoff and threaten water quality.

Wuebbles noted that all major professional scientific organizations have come out with statements saying that human activities have affected the climate. “The need for urgent action to address climate change is indisputable,” he said.

I don't even have to read their report to know it's terrible. But if I did, I would find it here.

And Congress better not figure out a way to reduce our carbon pollution either. That would be, like, the worst thing ever.
