Excerpt:
Rohrabacher: Just so you know, global warming is a total fraud and it is being designed by—what you’ve got is you’ve got liberals who get elected at the local level want state government to do the work and let them make the decisions. Then, at the state level, they want the federal government to do it. And at the federal government, they want to create global government to control all of our lives. That’s what the game plan is. It’s step by step by step, more and bigger control over our lives by higher levels of government. And global warming is that strategy in spades. [...]
Our freedom to make our choices on transportation and everything else? No, that’s gotta be done by a government official who, by the way, probably comes from Nigeria because he’s a UN government official, not a US government official.
Rohrabacher is a senior member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, but he has many rivals right there for the title of dumbest climate-change denier.
The whole committee is chaired by Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, who denies.
The Subcommittee on Environment is chaired by Chris Stewart of Utah, who is a denier.
The Subcommittee on Oversight is chaired by Paul Broun of Georgia, who is a denier (and then some).
The Subcommittee on Research and Technology is chaired by Larry Bucshon of Indiana, who is a denier who accepts evidence the climate is changing but doesn't think humans are causing it.
The Subcommittee on Energy is chaired by Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, who is a denier.
The Subcommittee on Space is chaired by Steven Palazzo of Mississippi, who, by his votes to slash climate science funding, shows he is a denier.
So, while Rohrabacher proves himself to be a contender in the climate-change denier sweepstakes, the competition for the title in Congress and within his own committee is stiff, comprising deniers who are just plumb ignoramuses about science or who believe humans are causing climate change but nonetheless repeat the fossil-fueled propaganda that says otherwise.
Together all these deniers plus all those in Congress who don't deny but continue to delay useful action by supporting an "all of the above" energy policy seem to have no concern about the short and long-term impacts of their behavior. They prove it by not co-sponsoring bills like those introduced by Sen. Barbara Boxer and Bernie Sanders.
Delay is denial.
