Ferguson goes after Reichert for suggesting 'guy upstairs' is causing climate change
For the last 12 years as Washington’s governor, Jay Inslee has led the state in the epic global battle to save the planet from the harms of climate change.

This week, Ferguson moved to burnish his environmental credentials, while painting Republican candidate Dave Reichert as out of touch.
He cited comments earlier this year by Reichert as evidence that the former congressman doesn’t accept the science on causes of climate change and will undo the state’s work to address its negative impacts.
Reichert is heard on a recording of an event in March saying current state policies cannot counter the effects of climate change because only “the guy upstairs” is responsible for controlling the weather.

He is implying that, since God controls the weather, any attempt to reverse the effects of climate change is tantamount to blasphemy.
He might have a harder time explaining why a benevolent God would wreak such deadly havoc on the planet where his supposedly beloved children live.
He might, as the Chrstianists always do, hand wave it as part of "God's beautiful plan"...
