Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) Discusses Cap and Tax at Town Hall Meeting
Departing from the health care issue, one man asked if Coburn was going to fight the cap and trade bill. Coburn asked how many in the audience thought that climate change was manmade. A minority of the attendees raised their hands. Coburn then asked how many had read the science, and about two-thirds of those hands went down. He then asked how many did not believe climate change was manmade, and a majority of attendees raised their hands. He asked how many had read the science, and roughly half the hands went down. “I am not the smartest man in the world,” Coburn said. “But I have been trained to read scientific documents, and it’s malarkey.” He went on to say we should not do anything until we had clear evidence of what was happening, and that if China and India do not also do something, the only thing passing a cap and trade bill would accomplish is shipping hundreds of thousands of American jobs overseas.
