GOP Congressman: God Will ‘Take Care Of’ Climate Change If It Exists
You can rest easy now.
By Igor Bobic


Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) told a constituent last week that God can solve the problem of climate change if the global phenomenon truly exists.

The 66-year-old Republican, who is a climate chance skeptic, made the remark at a town hall in Coldwater, Michigan, on Friday.

“I believe there’s climate change,” Walberg said, according to a video of the exchange obtained by HuffPost. “I believe there’s been climate change since the beginning of time. I believe there are cycles. Do I think man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No.”

“Why do I believe that?” he went on. “Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I’m confident that, if there’s a real problem, he can take care of it.”

1. Oh, well, then. I feel so much better now.

[kimbutgar]

2. He will be dead by the time the full impact of climate change hits

But his children and grandchildren will be impacted. What a selfish lying pos rethug.

[MineralMan]

3. Better get down on your knees then, Walberg.

Times a'wasting. Start praying in earnest, dude.

[izzybella]

4. Why hasn't God fixed the things that Republicans say are "real" problems?

Like terrorism?

[SHRED]

5. There ya go

Getting all logical.

[Wounded Bear]

6. Isn't that the same "god" who basically took a fire hose to the planet...

and flushed everybody except a few selected individuals a few thousand years ago?

Yeah, I'm sure he's on our side.

[yallerdawg]

7. Holy shit! Noah couldn't have said it better!

Of course, that would have shortened the Bible by every other chapter!

[SwissTony]

8. Can man change the entire universe?

No, he can't, Congressman. But he can certainly change the infinitesimal part of it that he inhabits. And that's what matters.

Idiot.

[ProudLib72]

9. Yeah, and God will give me wings

so I can sit on top of a lamp post outside of congress and shit on every rethuglican who walks by.

[unblock]

10. god may well take care of it by smiting large swaths of humans.

like george carlin used to say, something like, "save the earth? oh, the *earth* will be fine. it's humans who are f*cked. the earth will shake us off like a bad case of fleas."

recasting a problem in god-language doesn't justify a panglossian conclusion.

[Vinca]

11. So get your Miami Beach vacations in soon because God is going to put it under water.

WTF is the matter with these idiots?

[Orrex]

12. Fuck him.

And fuck every idiot "Christian" who believes any of this End Times bullshit. Fuck them and their stupid self-serving reading of Revelation.

If they really believed in that shit, they wouldn't have 401Ks and they wouldn't bother to pay their credit cards.



Fuck them.

[Freethinker65]

13. Jesus wept

Ok Democrats. Go get this seat

[get the red out]

14. If God was willing to take care of us

there wouldn't be any fucking Republican Party!

[WoonTars]

15. Which is more scary, the fact that he said this, or that people voted for him knowing...

...that this is how he thinks?

Good grief!!!

[treestar]

16. That's really anti-science when you think about it

God did not take care of diseases until man discovered antibiotics. God did not take care of deaths in childbirth until the discovery of sepsis. God did not take care of infertility at all until man made some discoveries recently. So he's perhaps giving God credit for all scientific discovery, and figures we all have to deal with climate change until God allows us to discover the solution.

18. God gave us the solution. We're not using it.

It's like the punch line of the old joke about the guy praying to win the lottery. "Murray, at least buy a ticket."

Disclaimer: I don't believe in gods.

[lapislzi]

17. Didn't god create it to begin with?

And if he did, didn't he do so because he wanted to?

You can disappear up your own ass using this logic.

19. If God didn't want us to burn coal

He wouldn't have made fusion power so dang hard to figure out.
