GOP Congressman ignores science with CO2 claims
Texas Republican Congressman Joe Barton, friend of Big Oil, says we don't need to worry about CO2 because it's in Dr. Pepper.
Photo: Pirate Alice/Flickr I'm creating it as I talk to you. It's in your Coca-Cola, your Dr. Pepper and your Perrier water. It's necessary for human life. It's odorless, colorless, tasteless, doesn't cause cancer, doesn't cause asthma. There's nobody that's ever been admitted to a hospital because of CO2 poisoning.
it's not simply that Mr Barton is a climate-change sceptic. There are plenty of those and some make decent arguments against moving ahead with measures to control emissions. The problem with Mr Barton is that he is wholly uninterested in the science and statistics of the global warming debate. He is about as curious as a dead cat, as is his colleague in the Senate, James Inhofe.
Well said.

Consensus is not science. Thirty years ago it was "global cooling". Don't accept environmental theory as to the cause of climate change as religious dogma. Look into historical records beyond the last 100 years. The earth is very old... weather changes. Man does not control the universe.
When are these people going to learn that the climate change debate is not about money. This is the problem with our "free market"
