Facts Schmacts

The Republican members of the house give their colleague Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) a round of applause after he calls climate change a hoax and tells various lies about proposed climate change legislation, the American Clean Energy and Security Act:

Scientists all over this world say that the idea of human induced global climate change is one of the greatest hoaxes perpetrated out of the scientific community. It is a hoax. There is no scientific consensus.

But this is gonna kill jobs. It's gonna raise the cost of food. It's gonna raise the cost of medicines. It's gonna raise the cost of electricity and gasoline. Every good and service in this country is gonna go up.

And who's gonna be hurt most? The poor, the people on limited income, the retirees, the elderly, the people who can least afford to have their energy taxes raised by, MIT says, over $3100 per family.

This rule must be defeated. This bill must be defeated. We need to be good stewards of our environment, but this is not it; it's a hoax! I encourage people to vote against the rule and the bill.

It's no wonder this country is fucked up when half the people running it are totally delusional.
