More quotes by Joe Barton

As long as I am chairman, [regulating global warming pollution] is off the table indefinitely. I don't want there to be any uncertainty about that.

Global warming science is uneven and evolving.

I think it's a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown.

Wouldn't it be ironic if in the interest of global warming we mandated massive switches to energy, which is a finite resource, which slows the winds down, which causes the temperature to go up?
