Nope. I’m referencing the fact that he’s said that climate change science is ‘dubious’, and that we can’t afford to fix the climate. He said he’s ‘agnostic’ about AGW.

And he said this piece of nonsense:

“I don’t know if the CO2 zealots are right,” he said. “But I don’t care, because we can’t afford to do what they want to do. Unless you want to go broke, in which case the world isn’t going to be any greener. Poor nations are never green.”

Which is one of the most bafflingly stupid things I’ve ever heard a supposedly intelligent person say about AGW. If the CO2 ‘zealots’ are right— which they are— we can’t afford to not do what they want to do. Otherwise, our economy will die.
