Political Quotes

On the recordApril 6, 2011
Thank you very much. I just want to point out, Mr. Barton, my very good friend who used to be chairman of the committee and was ranking member when I asked him to work with us on a bipartisan energy bill policy, he said, I don't believe there is such a thing as global warming. It doesn't exist, it's not a problem. Why spend any effort or money to find the solution? And now, while the gentlelady's amendment is saying at least study what will happen if you don't do anything in this area, and he said that's not needed either. I think at least we ought to know what the gentlelady is suggesting, and that is, what would be the long-term impact if we do nothing. I support the Jackson Lee amendment.
