Republican Challenger: Hung Cao

"it's about climate change okay first of all I believe in God and after you know why we have a rainbow its because that's god's covenant to us it's his promise to us he'll never wipe out the world again so it's kind of arrogant for us to believe that we can we can destroy god's creation..." Cao also compared AGW to earlier fears of a new ice age, ie just a succession of unfounded bogeymen.
