Scientist to Florida Gov. Scott:  Alarmism is not Pro Life - Source: The Cornwall Alliance

Atmospheric scientist Neil Frank sent Florida Gov. Rick Scott a letter explaining why global warming alarmism is not pro-life. Frank responded to assertions by climate activists that people with pro-life abortion views must also support pro-life alarmist global warming views.
