Perry looks a lot like George Bush!
Anthropogenic global warming wasn't on anyone's radar back then except for Algore. No one was trying to destroy the global economy back then based on a bunch of fabricated data. I think I'll give Perry a pass for that.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from that article:
In a 2007 speech to Californian Republicans, Perry said: "I've heard Al Gore talk about man-made global warming so much that I'm starting to think that his mouth is the leading source of all that supposedly deadly carbon dioxide."
There are some legitimate issues where Perry deserves criticism. Then there are others that are much ado about nothing. Yours appear to be with the latter.
