John Kerry’s climate change credentials challenged by GOP lawmaker
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 9 at 10:18 PM Former secretary of state John F. Kerry responded in disbelief when a Republican congressman challenged his credentials on climate change, prompting the veteran politician to ask, “This is really happening here?”
Rep. Thomas Massie , who has an engineering degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, began his line of questioning attempting to undermine Kerry’s authority on the issue by asking him about his “science degree” from Yale.“How do you get a bachelor of arts in a science?” Massie asked.“So, it’s not really science,” Massie said. “I think it’s somewhat appropriate that someone with a pseudoscience degree is here pushing pseudoscience in front of our committee today.
Massie, during his bizarre back and forth with Kerry, asked why carbon dioxide was higher on Earth millions of years ago than they are today, to which Kerry responded, “But there weren’t human beings; that was a different world, folks.”An exasperated Kerry replied, “This is just not a serious conversation.”
