Marjorie Taylor Greene Argues Global Warming Is 'Actually Healthy For Us'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) apparently believes in global warming ― but she’s not concerned, because in her opinion, it’s “actually healthy for us.”

“The temperature tracking is from the 1800s. We’ve already warmed 1 degree Celsius and do you know what’s happened since then?” the extremist Republican said during an appearance on the Right Side Broadcasting Network on Monday.

“We have had more food grown since then, which feeds people. We are able to producing fossil fuels, keeps people’s houses warm in the winter. That saves people’s lives, people die in the cold,” she said. “This earth warming, and carbon, is actually healthy for us. It helps feed people, it helps keep people alive.”

The comments came after RSBN host Brian Glenn complained that proponents of the Green New Deal want to “put all types of regulations on your vehicles and factories and things like that.” Greene advised him sarcastically that it’s because people think “carbon is bad.” She then attempted to refute that argument by explaining that plants need carbon to survive.

At temps higher than 100 F to 104 F photosynthesis efficiency drops like a rock. It's currently 96 F at my location. Just a few more degrees and the crops in backyard gardens and local farms will stop growing for the day.

Combining that fact with the predicted summer daytime temps in the next few decades and beyond a reasonable person would conclude that the world might not have enough food to sustain the growing populations.

I wonder if MTG thinks that's a good and healthy thing?
