Republican Senator John Thune comes closer to my position in climate change.

=============

"Asked about the overwhelming agreement among experts on the cause and trajectory of global warming, Thune began with a familiar GOP climate-change dodge: “Climate change is occurring, it’s always occurring.” But then he said this: “There are a number of factors that contribute to that, including human activity. The question is, what are we going to do about it and at what cost?”

In three sentences, the number-three Republican in the Senate admitted that human activity is affecting the climate and that this concern demands a policy response."

I don't think he "agreed that it demands a policy response," but he did say it is happening and humans are causing it.  

 

Once you admit it's happening and humans are causing it, the question becomes, can we do anything about it.   Of course, we COULD do something, but in my opinion, action will be prevented by politics, and cost.   The consequences of inaction are just too far down the road to persuade people to make any sacrifice today.
