My Climate Change Question for Senator Sanders

Hello Senator Sanders, thanks for taking my question.

I've got a tough one for you.

While every nationally and internationally recognized scientifc academy agrees that climate change is caused by man, a recent poll shows only 36% of American's get the connection.

How can we pass meaningful climate legislation with that kind of confusion on the issue?

The rest of the world gets it, why are we so confused in the US and what do we do about it?

Seems to me there are some real credible scientific doubts and also some fact and missing raw data that this is based on. There has been stifling of decent and meaninful debate which is health for the scientific method. Do you seek to educate or endoctrinate. Both sides need to be clearly heard by the tax payers. Al Gore runs from questions and especially dabate, caule he would get killed and he knows it. Why if the sciecne is so clear does he run?

Good video on the topic is "How it all ends" by wonderingmind.

I think that people just look at whats going on & if it doesn't match the words perfectly there is immediate disbelief..."It was global warming....though its better to say Global Climate Change".

Reason being...imagine a glass of water with ice cubes (the water representing oceans & ice - the polar ice caps), when it warms up the ice melts,then the water gets cold & will actually start to cool the planet down. Ocean regulates temp.

Theres probably confusion caused by corporate agendas. If you can keep the publis confused & divided on issues they will argue amongst each other about what is right & wrong regardless of personal credentials.

I believe the media is so strong in the US that if the world had the cure for cancer & pharmacutical co's didn't want the public to have it...they would spin it in some fashion suitable to their needs so the public remained divided at least for as long as they could keep them that way.

Would love to see you do more videos Frank. It can be sit down at the computer humor, rather than stand up. ♥
