EPA administrator Scott Pruitt has an invitation to consider in light of his recent statements made that carbon dioxide is not a main contributor of global warming.
Florida U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo wrote Pruitt expressing his concern over the statement and asked him to “reevaluate your comments.”
“Over the past century, temperatures have increased; sea levels have risen; and weather conditions around the world have changed,” said the Congressman. “It is not a coincidence that these changes have occurred at the same time tremendous amounts of carbon dioxide have been added to the atmosphere.”
Curbelo told Pruitt in the letter the residents of his Florida congressional district are already beginning to feel the effects of climate change in their daily lives.
“I invite you to visit anytime so you can see firsthand the very real threat climate change poses on our community, from rising sea-levels, coral bleaching to threatening our freshwater supplies.”
