Homeland Security isn’t the weather channel. These people need a hobby.

Two Democratic senators questioned President Trump’s nominee for Department of Homeland Security secretary about the cause of climate change during a Wednesday hearing that otherwise focused on her credentials and views on national security.
Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware, asked Kirstjen Nielsen, the current White House principal deputy chief of staff, if human activity was to blame for global warming — despite other senators’ focusing on cybersecurity and defense-related issues.
“I do absolutely believe that the climate is changing. I can’t unequivocally state it’s only caused by humans,” Nielsen said.
“That’s not my question,” Carper interjected.
“There are many — there many contributions,” Nielsen replied before Carper interrupted again.
“My question was do you believe that it’s primarily caused by human beings?” he asked.
“I believe that climate change exists, I’m not prepared to determine causation,” she responded.
