With Oregon considering an economy-threatening 50-cent-per-gallon tax to combat "climate change," Art Robinson contends it's time for a scientist to join the state legislature.
As a former colleague of Nobel-winner Linus Pauling, member of the biochemistry faculty at the University of California at San Diego and chairman of the Oregon Republican Party, Robinson believes he fits the bill.
"I think that Oregon voters would be benefited by sending a scientist to their state Senate in order to correct the lies that are being told there – lies that parrot the pronouncements of unethical and untruthful 'scientists,'" he said in a column for WND.
Robinson is running for the state Senate in Oregon's District 2. The primary is scheduled for next Tuesday. But in a district in which 68% of the voters are Republican, the GOP primary effectively is the general election.
A five-time Republican nominee for the U.S. House in Oregon's Fourth District, Robinson says the state lawmakers pushing the "climate change" legislation are informed by "pseudo-scientists" who want to scrap "hydrocarbon energy."
He argued that nearly the entire human race depends for its existence on machines powered directly or indirectly by hydrocarbon fuels.

“HOW DARE HE!”
Natural global climate change has been going on longer than the human species been around. To simply assert that humans are the cause of global climate change purposely ignores a multitude of other natural long ongoing variables.
Further, the “science” of man-made and/or natural global climate change is simply reduced down to one sides “science” and another sides “science.” Much like ‘truth’ and ‘facts’ are construed today by many.
Just toss this on the ‘believers’ and watch their eyes glaze over:
1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Economy killing? Surely, they jest. We have arrived at our destination.
And of course, any scientist not on board is working for the oil industry.
So as succinct as the question are, they are worthless in the fight against the irrational mob.
I don’t think one can proffer a rational challenge to a faith-based position.
LOL! No rationalizing with the irrational.
Not a chance.

So true.
Is this for real?
LOL! Guess some Oregonians need to answer that.
