“I’m an optometrist, an eye doctor. I spent a lot of money retrofitting our computers because the world was going to end for Y2K. And I don’t think a single computer in the world did any significant damage. And the scientific belief that that was going to be a problem was almost universal.… When you look at the amount of CO2 that man contributes through manufacturing and stuff, it’s a very small percentage. Your ability to impact that small percentage is pretty minimal.… I don’t know that the science is really there that you could cut back and have a reasonable impact, even if it was man-made. But there’s no way to eliminate that and have the kind of civilization that we have now. We have to continue studying it.”</font>

<p class="author"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Posted by <cite>Brad Johnson</cite> <abbr class="published" title="2011-05-06T15:46:00-04:00"><span class="typo_date" title="Fri, 06 May 2011 19:46:00 GMT">on Friday, May 06, 2011</span></abbr></font></p>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Senate Republicans have introduced legislation to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency. The bill, introduced by Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), would merge the <span class="caps">EPA</span>, which enforces environmental laws, with the Department of Energy, which manages nuclear energy and energy research, into one department.</font>

In January, <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2011/01/25/newt-epa-abolish/">Newt Gingrich</a> proposed abolishing the <span class="caps">EPA</span>, and several <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/2011/02/17/gop-abolish-epa/">House Republicans</a> have supported that goal. Burr’s statement announcing his <a href="http://burr.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressOffice.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=c1ba1805-d36e-05b2-1312-7c07e24fa340">bill to eliminate the <span class="caps">EPA</span></a> argues that “duplicative functions” can be eliminated:

</font><blockquote><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">U.S. Senator Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) introduced a bill that would <strong>consolidate the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency into a single, new agency called the Department of Energy and Environment</strong> (DOEE). The bill would provide cost savings by combining duplicative functions while improving the administration of energy and environmental policies by ensuring a coordinated approach.</font></blockquote>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Burr’s bill has fifteen co-sponsors, all of them <a href="http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/climate-zombie-caucus/">deniers</a> of the threat of global warming pollution, a top <span class="caps">EPA</span> priority: Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), John Thune (R-S.D.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Dan Coats (R-Ind.), Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), David Vitter (R-La.), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), Mike Lee (R-Utah).</font>
