Toward the end of the GOP presidential debate last night on CNN, moderator Jake Tapper pressed the Republican candidates on climate change, likening it to Reagan's response to the ozone layer. Tapper asked Senator Marco Rubio, "Ronald Reagan's secretary of state, George Shultz, says Ronald Reagan urged skeptics in industry to come up with a plan. He said, do it as an insurance policy in case the scientists are right. Secretary Shultz asks, why not take out an insurance policy and approach climate change the Reagan way?" "We're not going to destroy our economy the way the left-wing government that we are under now wants to do," Rubio said. "I am not in favor of any policies that make America a harder place for people to live, or to work, or to raise their families. Every proposal they put forward are going to be proposals that will make it harder to do business in America, that will make it harder to create jobs in America.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_debate_cnn.jpg
