Republicans Gassing People Just Like Assad

“There’s a ‘March for Science’ in Washington and 400 cities tomorrow. I hope you join that. The Republicans have a competing ‘March for Ignorance’ that's going on. Sorry, S.E., but, you know what, it is the party of climate denial, and they have an awful lot to answer for....The Syrian problem started with climate change. It did –  75 percent of Syrian farms failed. A million and a half people migrated to the cities. That’s where it began. And, by the way, these people who are starving, which is, you know, whether you’re bombed or you’re sarin gassed or you’re starving, death is death. But, I mean, we talk about Assad gassing people, we’re gassing them, too. We’re just doing it slower with CO2.”
