...State Rep. Kevin Sinnette, a [font color=blue]Democrat[/font] from Ashland, said climate change didnt kill the dinosaurs, so human beings should be just fine.
The dinosaurs died, and we dont know why, but the world adjusted. And to say that this is whats going to cause detriment to people, I just dont think its out there," Sinnette said.

This was said at the very same hearing that Sen Brandon Smith (R) made his idiotic Mars temperature comment.
Even though Rep. Sinnette attempted to pander to the coal companies, I think he made one enormous fatal flaw to his career -- his statements indicate he doesn't believe that dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time together a few thousand years ago like the Good Book teaches us. (Remember that Kentucky creation museum depicting humans riding dinosaurs?) He makes it sound like dinosaurs died in a distant past era, indicating his heretical belief that the Bible is not the inerrant word of Almighty God.
