Cuomo to Rep. King on Global Warming: ‘Why Won’t You Get on Board with the Science?’

CUOMO: “All right. So, let’s do one issue topic here before I let you go. Climate change. You go anywhere else in the world, it’s a no-brainer for them, the COP 21 that’s going on in Paris. There are concerns there about security, not about the climate. Back home at here, still, a lot of push back against the administration for wanting to do more about climate change. Why won’t you get on board with the science and make some changes?”
KING: “Well, I think I am on board with the science. I think the scientists that have been pushing this collected a lot of money from donors and government and created a science that's often hard to sustain. I can take you down through a lot of reasons why I am very skeptical of this proposal on climate change — but here’s this —“ 
CUOMO: “You know it’s 99 percent of the scientific community believes this.” 
KING: “I know that’s probably about the ratio of the money that’s been spent also on either side of that. But, I think [indecipherable] if this is so good — I’ve done this before. I looked at some — I don’t fight understand this. I’m going to dig down into it. When I get to where I could understand it, I’ll be able to embrace it. I try to do that and I get there. So, here is my answer to President Obama, if you want to move climate change, come to Congress and make the case. If you can’t convince the United States Congress, probably it’s not a good idea.” 
CUOMO: “So, he got invited for the State of the Union once again. We’ll see if he makes the case there. To you sir and your family an early Christmas wish —“
KING: “Marry Christmas.”
CUOMO: “— and I’ll see you in Iowa, for sure.”
KING: “Look forward to seeing you in Iowa, thanks very much.”
