Salon: Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., appeared on MSNBC Monday to educate people who listen to scientists about how foolish they are. Presented with a poll showing that Floridians, on the issue of climate change, trust scientists over climate denier Marco Rubio by a margin of 56 to 33 percent, Miller was unfazed. "Well, I think anybody would answer a poll and say that they believe the scientists, but you have to understand that it is not settled science," he told host Richard Lui. "The issue of climate change...

EcoWatch: U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL, like others in Congress, still doesn`t believe in the science of climate change.
