a few choice quotes:
The causes [of global warming], if there are causes, are caused in Chicago and New York and not caused by our small population in Alaska.
emphasis mine.
Oil and gas doesn't have anything to do with global warming!
To be fair, he does go on to specify that it's not oil and gas per se, it's the fact that we use them.
Also, he says that if we don't get the oil and gas from Alaska, we'll get it from somewhere else, just at higher prices. Honestly, that's kind of the point. He's a republican and they're supposed to like markets, right? This is simple supply and demand. Higher prices lead to lower consumption and lower consumption leads to less pollution.
