Edward Durr on Energy & Oil

 

 


Do I think that we are killing the world? No!

Q: Do you believe in climate change and that it's man made?

A: Yeah, climate change--it's called seasons: winter, summer, fall and spring. Those are climate changes. [Are] there things we do to damage our air quality? Absolutely. Do I think that we are killing the world, like Al Gore or like [Environment and Energy Committee Chair] Sen. [Bob] Smith will say? No.
