Jeff Sessions climate change skepticism, in one groan-worthy video

[telemann.livejournal.com]

It's almost like watching a LJ debate in real time with the GOP talking point and "gotchas" and Gish-Galloping. The cringe-inducing questioning by Sessions amounted to a series of “gotchas” aimed at an EPA administrator who not only isn’t a scientist but who obviously wasn’t going to prepare for a budget hearing by memorizing responses to all possible climate contrarian arguments. McCarthy deferred on most of Sessions’s questions, saying she was happy to provide answers in writing. “Well you need to know, because you’re asking this economy to sustain tremendous cost,” Sessions responded sternly.

Video at this link. A classic example of Gish Galloping.

What an asshole. Coming from one of those drought stricken areas, I'd like to offer him some salty well water.

And yes, classic gish galloping, especially when he declares C02 as food.
