I don’t like him but…

So I saw this today and thought it was rather interesting…  Now keep in mind I disagree with Senator Lindsey Graham on almost everything but still the man makes a good point when it comes to climate change.

“Late Night” host Seth Meyers asked Graham, who has previously urged his GOP colleagues to break from the party on environmental issues, if he’s “surprised” to find so many climate change deniers in the party’s ranks.

“Well I’m not a scientist,” Graham responded. “but here’s the problem I’ve got with some people in my party: When you ask the scientists what’s going on, why don’t you believe them? If I went to 10 doctors and nine said, ‘Hey, you’re gonna die,’ and one says ‘You’re fine,’ why would I believe the one guy?”

The “doctor” line is one Graham has used often, and he’s been one of the most outspoken 2016 Republican candidates on the issue. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), former Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) each have climate denialism on the books, while Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI), former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) have tried to avoid talking about climate change altogether.

I absolutely hate the “I am not a scientist” line so good for him for speaking up.
