GOPers are saying they are not qualified to discuss climate change. So what...they

can't name an expert on their side so all experts must be ignored? Is this the stand the GOP will be taking when Obama releases his climate change plans? Implying politicians are not capable of discussing the issue? They can't all out attack the experts because the Nazis did that.

"Well, listen. I'm not qualified to debate the science over climate change. But I am astute enough to understand that every proposal that has come out of this administration to deal with climate change involves hurting our economy and killing American jobs," said Boehner. "That can't be the prescription for dealing with changes in our climate."



Someone should have jumped up and slapped him...

While we are dying from Climate Change, the Boehners of the world, who know better, will be denying change because of alleged jobs.

What he knows and cant say is we could create green jobs that would reverse climate change...

needs a slappin
