Excerpt:
Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) is the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and he began by describing himself as an advocate for an energy policy based on free markets. Barton talked about the science behind climate change, and how climate change is a naturally occurring phenomena. He stated that whatever we do regarding global warming - we need to make sure that Americans' lives remain relatively unaffected and that we maintain the standard of living we Americans currently enjoy.
...
Congressman Barton was soft-spoken but clear and precise. He defined his role on the Energy & Commerce Committee as to "be the adult;" a role that should be filled far more often then it is in Congress these days.
