american people put on the brakes. they might believe that there's a scientific event occurring that is leading to all these weather problemst if that the means that human beings, american consumers are going to have to change their behavior with energy consumption there's typically a lot of resistance to that. cenk: due to a lot of reasons. we played team ball and if your team says we are against helping the environment, there are amazing new studies done recently on light bulbs. if they showed people energy efficient light bulbs as opposed to the old light bulbs, they would buy either one. if it said protects the environment, people bought it less. that's amazing. it's almost like oh, yeah, if the other side is concerned about the environment i'm going to spit on it. >> which is funny because if that light bulb wasn't because of a federal mandate it's the business trying to help the environment rather than government force. to the point you were making before, i think that looking at poll numbers and seeing how much people believe. i don't think the average american citizen completely understands everything that's been sa

how about every legitimate american scientific professional society -- about 30-strong? how about major american corporations like walmart, ford, apple, coca-cola? how about global insurance and reinsurance businesses like lloyd's of london and munich rei. today frank in utter, the president of the reinsurance association of america, is reported as saying, and i'll quote this -- it is too god -- "insurance is heavily dependent on scientific thought. it is not as amenable to politicized scientific thought." so, i ask my republican friends, whose side do you like in this? in this corner the joint chiefs, the bishops, walmart, ford, apple, coke, nasa, 30 top scientific organizations, the top insurers and reinsurers, and by the way several thousand other legitimate others. in that corner, the polluting industry and a screen of schemey organizations they -- sketchy organizations they fund. let's be searious. do you really want to bet the reputation of the republican party that the polluters are the ones that we should count on here? because that's what you're doing. and for wh

high school graduates have enough math and science to pursue scientific or technical degrees in college. it's no wonder that by the time american students go to college, few are choosing to major in a stem area subject. according to the national science foundation, college students majoring in non-stem fields outnumbered their math and science-minded counterparts 5-1. moreover, the growth rate of new stem majors remain among the slowest in any category. unfortunately, research shows that this gap continues to widen at a time when the number of job openings requiring stem degrees is increasing at three times the rate of the rest of the job market. so the number of students pursuing math and science and engineering is declining. the demand for the jobs is increasing. should this trend continue, american business -- businesses are projected to need an estimated 800,000 workers with advanced stem degrees by 2018, just about four years away. but will only find 550,000 american graduates with those degrees they need. how do we solve this problem and prepare america for the future? first and foremost we, need to do more to prepare ame
