How do I politely answer this ignorant ______ using single-syllable words that he'll understand?
Well, it was clear that Chu was stumped Secretary Chu's pseudo-geological response just proves he doesn't have a clue. He was stumped on how to explain a complicated process clearly and simply in just a few seconds to a child. That's hard to do.
I don't think it's fair to ask a question when you already know the answer, but still that so-called perfesser shoulda known that oil comes from Texas.
Maybe Secretary Chu should of said.... There have been geological ages when it WAS warm at the latitudes that Alaska was at that time. Not that Alaska is where it is now, back then. And during those times, there were no humans much less human civilizations. Oh fuck it! I hate explaining things to idiots!
I think people should try to get Barton to explain his views on the origin of oil.
Would it be something along the lines of... Well, since it's well known that God created the Earth some 6000 years ago,
It is possible then that around 4000 years ago or so, you have to count forward from Adam to Noah in the genealogies and add up the ages to be sure exactly when, that the world was all very warm and there was lots of moisture in the air.
Because of this, the heat and moisture allowed lizards to grow to huge sizes, thus dinosaurs. Then, with Noah's flood the world was covered in all the water that used to be in the air. Along with the flood came a huge collection of dead animals and plants that were buried and became what is now oil and coal.
Yes, it was warmer in Alaska a long time ago, so obviously the world got colder there, and also obviously global warming is nonsense.
This video would make one think that Barton believes the presence of oil and gas indicates Alaska used to be warmer
Therefore he then must think heat produces it. So Saudi Arabia has oil not because of geology, but because it's hot.
How do people like that pass junior high science class? And then later, get elected and get to represent us.
If pro is the opposite of con what is the opposite of progress?
