Carter: 'Nutcases' are stopping climate action

[Geee]

The Hill:

Former President Jimmy Carter says climate skeptics are the "biggest handicap" for the U.S. when it comes to acting on global warming.

 

“I would say the biggest handicap we have right now are some nutcases in our country that don’t believe in global warming,” Carter said Tuesday during the American Renewable Energy Day summit in Aspen.

 

“I think they are going to change their position because of pressure from individuals, because the evidence of the ravages of global warming are already there," he added.

The 39th president expressed frustration with the administration and Congress on efforts taken to mitigate climate change, arguing that the the U.S. is lagging behind other countries on the issue, the Aspen Times reports.

“I was a bit disappointed he took a wait and see approach during his first five or six years in office, but he’s moving now,” Carter said of President Obama.

Despite the administration's actions, Carter said, the U.S. is "right at the bottom."

“We still only have about 10 percent of our energy from renewables," he said. So we have a tremendous opportunity to do what other countries have done that we haven’t tapped yet."
