CNN Segment Mocks Louisianans Who Doubt Global Warming Despite Coastal Changes

RUSH EXCERPT:

BURNETT: "Despite images like this, some people do not believe in climate change even when they come face-to-face with evidence in their own backyard. Here's Ed lavendera with the story you'll only see "Out front."
LAVANDERA: "Jeff Poe has guided fishing trips for more than 30 years, chasing speckled trout and other fish in the waters around Lake Charles, Louisiana. You consider yourself an environmentalist?"
POE: "Without a doubt. That's just my thing with climate change. I don't know that there's anything we can do about it."
LAVANDERA: "We're traveling these waters because according to a new study from Yale university, this part of southern Louisiana has one of the highest concentrations of climate change deniers and skeptics in the country.
POE: "Speckled trout. I'm not a deny-er. Won't put it that way. But my skepticism is how much control we have over it.
LAVANDERA: "Around here climate change is a hard sell. As we quickly discovered after sitting down with Cecil Clark and Leo Dodson."
DOTSON: "I don't think climate change is real."
LAVANDERA: "Is there anything a scientist can say to you that would change your mind?"
DOTSON: "If he was 500 years old and he told me it's changed, I would probably believe it. In my lifetime I didn't see any change."
LAVANDERA: "You'd have to hear it from a 500-year-old scientist?"
DOTSON: "Right."
LAVANDERA: "One of expert described Louisiana as the ground zero of climate change. There are rising sea levels, a new Tulane University study claims 10 to 13 millimeters per year sea levels are rising. It's enough to cause significant damage in the next 50 years.
