Mark Robinson, Hurricane Helene, & “Junk Science”

Just remember that Mark Robinson called people who believed that humans were contributing to global warming and affecting climate change were practicing “junk science.”

Robinson ridiculed climate scientists by suggesting that sure, climate change is real. It happens four times a year with the changing seasons.

He also took aim at educators: “These people that are at the college telling your young people that it’s the climate change is gonna kill us all … these people, I’m gonna say it right now, they are liars. Liars,” he said, drawing a loud cheer from the congregation.

Science really isn’t Robinson’s strong suit as he has shown his incredible ineptitude with computer science and his sloppy online presence and a lack of grasping political science as he has hardly any campaign staff left (or for that matter an office staff).

I wonder what he would say to those people in the western part of our state after the weather events of the past two days.

How would he greet the people of Boone who have a flood on King Street? Or the people in the Swannanoa Valley? Or the people around the Lake Lure Dam?

Just look at the news and you can see the catastrophic devastation of Helene on WNC.

That storm went from a Category 1 to a Category 4 in strength in a matter of hours. It literally took over half of the Gulf of Mexico.
