“The Best Comeback Ever”
Climate Change Denial - Jimmy Dore told his 80,000 YouTube subscribers that this exchange between Congressman Grayson and Congressman Rohrabacher at a Congressional hearing on “clean coal” on Wednesday is “the best comeback ever” on that subject. Listen:
Rep. Grayson: We’re talking about air pollution, in the form of carbon dioxide emissions. No company that produces energy in the United States has any incentive to limit its own air pollution, unless we create an incentive for it… . It’s dreaming to think that it’s going to happen through the “free market,” when the free market has every incentive to continue to pollute, as much as it wants.
Rep. Rohrabacher: It’s about CO2, it’s not about “air pollution.” … Pollution is something that endangers human life, endangers the health of human beings… . It’s all based on the [false] idea that CO2 is heating our planet… . There are hundreds of scientists who do not believe that the global warming theory based on CO2 heating our planet is correct… . I don’t accept the fact that CO2 in any way causes human health problems… . Trying to base our operations on the CO2 theory of global warming is in no way justified.
Rep. Grayson: If [Congressman Rohrabacher] thinks that carbon dioxide doesn’t cause any human health problems, I invite him to put a plastic bag over his head, tie it tightly around his neck, and see what happens next.
BOOM!
Who speaks for the trees? Alan Grayson does.
Friends of the Earth,
Team Grayson
