Global Warming, Tom Tancredo style September 25, 2007

When looking over the candidates positions on global warming, it’s interesting to note that none of the top tier candidates even among the Republicans are willing to deny global warming. But among those less known candidates desperately pandering to the base, denialism (now expressed through “we don’t know what causes global warming”) runs rampant.
No one, though, comes close to the idiocy of Tom “Fear the Brown People” Tancredo:
I have no doubt that global warming exists. I just question the cause and what we can do to ameliorate it. But I wonder why the Sierra Club isn’t going crazy about the environmental aspects of massive immigration into the U.S. The fact is, Americans consume more energy than anyone else, so if a person moves here from another country, they automatically become bigger polluters.
That’s right, folks: Americans consume too much, and so we shouldn’t let people immigrate here to help us consume it. And lest you suspect he actually cares about the environment, rather than just enjoys hating on brown people, he has this to add:
First of all, the whole issue of global warming, for every single scientist that tells you it’s happening and that it’s our fault — and they’ll stack up to here in this reports — I can stack up another group of reports that say just the opposite. I don’t believe that — well, I’ll tell you this, I don’t know whether or not we are responsible, we the human race, are responsible for global warming.
So, Tom, if you don’t think humans are responsible for global warming, why would you use it as an argument against immigration? Could it be because you’re a hypocritical, lying scumbag who would use any dishonest argument to support his racist agenda?
