If Mr. Zinke were well educated, particularly as a geologist (rocks for jocks?), he would harbor no doubt that climate change is occurring at an accelerating pace as a result of the steady buildup of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses resulting from human activity. There is simply no educated person left who denies anthropogenic climate change. Furthermore, if his eyes teared up at the death of one State Department employee and three soldiers in a combat zone to the point where he called Hillary "the antichrist", then when Ronald Reagan lost 17 Americans including the Beirut bureau chief and seven CIA operatives including the top Middle East analyst, and in another blast, lost 241 marines dead, another 200 wounded, Zinke's eyes must have been running like Niagara, and Zinke must have "felt" that Reagan was not only the antichrist but the devil incarnate.

So, Zinke is a third-rate geologist with a business degree who wants to mine a lot more coal, supports armed thugs who play "militia"..
