Texas Congressman Cites Noah's Ark As Evidence Against Climate Change
 

:1orglaugh

Texas Republican Joe Barton stands out even among his fellow conservative Republicans who have made it an article of faith to deny the existence of a human component to climate change.

On Wednesday, Barton cemented that reputation by citing the Old Testament to refute scientific evidence of man-made global warming, drawing on the story of Noah's ark.

"I would point out that if you are a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the great flood was an example of climate change," Barton told a congressional hearing on Wednesday in a video first shown on the BuzzFeed website. "That certainly wasn't because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy."

Barton was speaking at a House subcommittee hearing called by the Republican leadership to promote a bill that would allow Congress to fast-track a controversial pipeline that would pump crude from the tar sands of Alberta to refineries on the Texas coast.

funny though, the flood of noah's ark might have actually been a natural dam burst leading into the black sea due to increased ocean sea levels after the ice age remembered in human oral history and eventually becoming the flood story.

Great. Another fucking idiot impedes science and helps destroy the world just a little more.

Great, I wonder what will his next speech would be about.

Is it going to rain?

that's a funny assumption

Proof that you can kill off chemtrails
(or proof that conservatives are fucking nuts)

Yes. Because if man wasn't a contributing factor, it no longer exists. So sayeth the moron.

If it rains too much, we'll just part the sea and hang out for a bit.

Or it could have simply been a tsunami like the one that hit Japan. That was some Biblical shit right there

Holy fuck, I lol'ed

At the end of the last ice age there was a flood that was so great that it literally changed the landscape of the Northwestern United States. Fly over some time and look out the window and see a "rippling" of prairie lands that look exactly how sands ripple by the ocean's coastal edge.

The indigenous tribes all have flood myths too but it is also well established as scientific fact that there was a cataclysmic event that occurred when essentially a wall of glacial ice broke in Canada.

Praise the lord and pass the canoe paddle...
