Michigan Republican: God can take care of climate change problems
Why worry about climate change? One Republican thinks God can cure it
Matthew Rozsa Thursday, Jun 1, 2017 10:15 AM EDT
A Republican congressman told his constituents on Friday that he isnt worried about man-made climate change because God will take care of it.
In the video, Rep. Tim Walberg can be seen telling a town hall gathering at Coldwater, Michigan, that while climate change is real, he is convinced that human beings cant impact the world enough for it to pose a legitimate threat. Beyond that, he said his belief in a Christian god comforts him with the conviction that the deity will prevent true disaster from occurring.
