Pat Robertson: Global Warming Is ‘Idiocy’ Because It’s Freezing Outside

Pat Robertson Calls Climate Change ‘Idiocy’ Because It’s Cold Outside (Mediaite)

Televangelist Pat Robertson may have admitted that it’s “nonsense” to think the Earth is only 6,000 years old, but the climate change debate is another story altogether. On The 700 ClubTuesday, used the now-classic “but it’s cold outside” defense to explain why he believes it’s “idiocy” to believe that the planet is getting warmer.

Robertson was reacting to recent comments by Secretary of State John Kerry, who compared climate change to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other major threats the planet will face in the coming years. “I don’t know where Kerry has been spending his time,” the host said, “but maybe he’s so wealthy they have a special house that has tropical plants in it so he feels like he’s in the tropics, but for the rest of us, it’s been cold as the Dickens!”
