VIDEO: Bernie Sanders calls out Marco Rubio for embarrassing the nation on climate change

During a recent appearance on The Ed Show, independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont responded to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio’s complete denial of climate change science by saying, “I gotta say this, Ed. I really gotta say this. Look, you and I have all kinds of differences with Republicans, but to totally reject what the scientific community is saying is really embarrassing for our nation, frankly.”

Here’s the video of Sen. Sanders’ appearance (discussion of climate change begins at approximately 2:38 of the video).

I think John Oliver, the host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, summed up climate change deniers best when he said, “You don’t need people’s opinions on a fact,” adding, “You might as well have a poll asking which number is bigger — 15 or 5?”

Watch for yourselves.
