Sen Rand Paul:
I think this debate has become so dumbed down beyond belief. The Earth is 4.54 or 4.6 billion years old. Anybody who’s ever studied any geology knows that over periods of time, long periods of time, that the climate changes, mmkay? I’m not sure anybody exactly knows why. But we have twenty-, thirty-, hundred-thousand sort of year cycles that go on with the climate. It has been much warmer than it is today. We have real data [for] about 100 years. So somebody tell me what 100 years’ data is in an Earth that is 4.6 billion years old?
My guess is that the conclusions you make from that are not conclusive.
