Rick Perry: I Don't Believe in Global Warming
Submitted by Mark Berman Opposing Views on Aug 17, 2011
Add Rick Perry's name to the list of people who think manmade global warming is a myth. Speaking in New Hampshire on Wednesday, the Republican presidential candidate said it is nothing but an unproven scientific theory.
"We are seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change," Perry said. "Yes, our climate's changed — they've been changing ever since the Earth was formed."

The silly thing about the global warming argument is that people are ignoring the negative impacts of pollution regardless of its impact on global warming. Drive through Denver or Salt Lake City during an inversion and tell me that burning fossil fuels is harmless? How about acid rain and how effectively it has been reduced through regulation? How about the negative effects of particulates - asthma, etc.?
Pollution is bad, fossil fuels are limited, and we need to pursue new green fuels.

He/she will chomp coal, slurp oil, expirate CO2, excrete (leave it at that), urinate pharmaceuticals, demand to be fed, ...
Rick the clueless believes that praying to a bearded sky-mama is the solution!
