one losing his marbles? He actually did admit, and you will hear him

saying it on this very show, that he doesn't know what the future holds. But there's no point

in pretending that we can't do anything about it. We have to believe that we can do something

about it, which is not exactly the same as taxing the begetis out of everybody in order to

make sure that the climate is indeed saved. Of course, the chairman of the Climate Change Committee is no slouch either.
