This morning, on C-SPAN, he denounced the pending cap-and-trade legislation by stating that "the stupidest thing that Congress could do this year is pass Waxman-Markey."
Barton, who has resisted proposals to reduce the country's oil dependence, explained that there shouldn't be any concern about carbon-dioxide emissions because CO2 is relatively harmless:
I'm creating it as I talk to you. It's in your Coca-Cola. your Dr. Pepper and your Perrier water. It's necessary for human life. It's odorless, colorless, tasteless, doesn't cause cancer, doesn't cause asthma. There's nobody that's ever been admitted to a hospital because of CO2 poisoning.
I've run this one before, but as it now seems to be a part of a talking point of extraordinary stupidity, it needs to be seen again...
"Carbon dioxide is basically this. (Exhales.) Look at how much pollution I just put out." — Glenn Beck
What I would like to point out to these dumbasses is that... yes... we do create CO2. Breathing does create it.
NOW.... put a plastic bag over your head and breathe heavily for 3 minutes. See what happens then, dipshits.
Case closed.
