Republican Congressman Cites Biblical Great Flood To Say Climate Change Isn't Man-Made
“If you believe in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change. That certainly wasn't because man had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy.”
A Republican Congressman cited the biblical flood as an example of climate change that had not been caused by humans. Texas Rep. Joe Barton made those remarks Wednesday at the Subcommittee on Energy and Power hearing on H.R. 3, the Northern Route Approval Act, a bill that would give Congress the authority approve the Keystone pipeline.
"I don't think it's a secret that I'm a proponent and supporter of the Keystone pipeline," Barton said.
Barton continued to say he didn't deny the climate was changing, but argued that the change was due to natural causes, as he has in the past.
