MSNBC’s Velshi on Climate: Many Think ‘the Most Dangerous Piece of the U.S. Is Becoming Divorced from Science’

EXCERPT:

VELSHI: "You say the universe is okay. Earth has some problems. This week representatives from more than 130 countries are meeting in South Korea to discuss climate change. There are many who think that’s the most dangerous piece of the U.S. becoming divorced from science."
TYSON: "It’s destabilizing. So, a couple things. First, I don’t mind people arguing on political lines what you do about climate change. Okay? Do you put in carbon credits or tariffs on solar panels? Do you invest in your economy to transition? Those have political solutions. But when I see politicians arguing over the objectively identified truths of science, that — you are just going to lag behind the rest of the world that understands it. By the way, you’re lagging behind two very important elements of modern life. Insurance companies know all about global warming and what its consequences are. So too does the military. Because if you have rising tide waters that — rising storm waters that didn’t use to get to those levels and you displace whole populations, they become migrants.”
