降低二氧化碳排放並非你想的重要有意義

美國共和黨取得新一屆國會眾議院的控制權,共和黨眾議院領袖貝納(John Boehner)3日表示,削減聯邦政府支出是國會明年的首要議程,貝納先生就是與高爾唱反調, 認為降低二氧化碳排放並那樣重要有意義.

任何主張都有異議者; 唱反調要有本事.

In a strange exchange, House Minority Leader John Boehner told ABC's George Stephenopoulos yesterday that "the idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide."
It seems that President Obama and others have a ways to go before Rep. Boehner is ready to tackle climate change. They better hurry up because debate on the Markey-Waxman American Clean Energy and Security (ACES) Act begins soon.
The video speaks for itself. Transcript below.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me ask you then about energy. We showed your statement on the president's decision through the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. Also, you've come out against the president's proposal to cap-and-trade carbon emissions. So what is the Republican answer to climate change? Is it a problem? Do you have a plan to address it?
