Remove Marco Rubio from position of chair of the Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries and Coast Guard.

Created by C.S. on January 14, 2015

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) was recently appointed as the chair of the Subcommittee that protects the earth.

Marco Rubio has been quoted as saying, "I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it, and I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it."

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Senator Rubio has received nearly $260,000 in dirty energy contributions from oil, gas, and coal, with his largest contribution coming from the Koch-linked group, Club for Growth. He has voted against extending tax credits for renewable energy, at the same time he maintained oil industry tax breaks.

This man has ZERO interest in protecting our natural resources! Replace him.
