Reid: Kochs 'main cause' of climate change By: Burgess Everett May 7, 2014 10:37 AM EDT

Charles and David Koch are one of the “main causes” of climate change, charged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor.

“While the Koch brothers admit to not being experts on the matter, these billionaire oil tycoons are certainly… experts at contributing to climate change. That’s what they do very well. They are one of the main causes of this. Not a cause, the main cause,” Reid said.

Now in his fifth month of flogging the billionaire conservative benefactors on the Senate floor, Reid dubbed them “multizillionaires” on Wednesday and mockingly applauded their spokeswoman for saying the Kochs and the energy conglomerate that they run aren’t experts on climate science. Wealthy liberal investor Tom Steyer challenged the Kochs to a debate on climate change last week in a full-page newspaper advertisement, but they declined to take him up on it.

It wasn’t just climate change: Reid also blamed the Kochs for imperiling an energy efficiency bill currently on the Senate floor, an accusation that comes not long after the Democratic leader blamed the Kochs for stalling Ukrainian aid.

“Step right up!

Try some of Dr. Harry Reid Esquire's patent medicine!
It cures the gripp, St. Anthony’s fire, pleurisy, palpitations, dropsy, ague, nervous irritability, bilious or remittent fever of man or Earth!

Why, if anyone can destroy the economy by using a couple of oilmen a scapegoat, Dr. Harry can!

For the nominal price of your prosperity and freedom, chicken feed really, Dr. Reid and his certified doctor-scientists can relieve you of man-made global warming merely by increasing taxes, implementing draconian green laws, speaking his magical incantations!

Who would like to be his first customer?

America? You look like a gullible..er, that is to say, a wise fellow....”

Harry Reid’s hot air blathering about the phony Climate Change and his methane are much more of a harm to the environment than anything the Koch’s ever dreamed of doing.

The Soviet Union and China are and were MUCH bigger polluters than the USA. Communism is filthy in more ways that just their satanic ideology!

This is a good case for having the Koch's run things. The seem to be omnipotent!

When is someone who cares about this man going to recognize that he has finally completely succumbed to whatever disease has been causing his increasingly serious levels of dementia over the last 10-15 years.

He’s ALWAYS been a liberal dirt-bag; but now he is a CRAZY liberal dirt-bag.

I hope someone helps him get the medical/psychological assistance he needs, and I hope they do it soon.

Otherwise, I might end up feeling a tiny bit guilty for not having one shred of sympathy or empathy for him and his condition.

...he and his wife founded two renewable energy research institutions: the TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy and the Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance. Tom also founded Advanced Energy Economy, which works with businesses to make energy secure, clean and affordable, and Next Generation, which addresses energy and children’s policy issues.

So basically, he makes money when people pay for worthless "carbon credits"?
