Rand Paul on Climate Change: ‘How Much Is Man and How Much Is Nature?’

Rand Paul on Climate Change: "How Much Is Man And How Much Is Nature?" (RealClearPolitics)

After a long string of actually answering yes-or-no questions in one word, Sen. Rand Paul explains his position on climate change.

BECK: “Is climate change real?”

PAUL: “The climate's been changing since the beginning of time.”

BECK: “Man-made climate change?”

PAUL: “Man might well have an influence on it, the unknown question is how much is man and how much is nature, this is a question I love to ask to the apocalyptic crowd, the alarmists. How much is man and how much is nature? Do you acknowledge nature has been changing the climate, nature has had an atmosphere with much higher Carbon than we've had today, and much lower. How much is man? How do you give a proportionality to how much is man and how much is nature? They seem to think it is like 99.99 percent man, and nothing nature, they don't even acknowledge the natural climate.”
