"I would point out that people like me who support hydrocarbon development don't deny that the climate is changing. I think you can have an honest difference of opinion of what's causing that change without automatically being either all-in that's all because of mankind or it's all just natural. I think there's a divergence of evidence. I would point out that if you're a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change, and that certainly wasn't because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy."—Republican Congressman from Texas Joe Barton, during today's Subcommittee on Energy and Power hearing on the Northern Route Approval Act, legislation which would authorize Congress to approve the Keystone pipeline.
Divergence of evidence. Yup.
