Why not? Well, because sun is going to grow into a huge fireball, incinerating the Earth in a global warming that no one will be able to deny.
The thing is, this fiery apocalypse won't occur for another 4 billion to 4-1/2 billion years. And since humankind has only been around for about 200,000 years, we still have a ways to go.
During the 2011 speech surfaced Tuesday by Mother Jones, Johnson conceded that humans are making the planet warmer in the short term, but he doesn't think it's worth spending vast amounts of money to combat it.
In August, he told the Los Angeles Times that he was "open" to a revenue-neutral tax on carbon emissions, but after a backlash from the right, he has since retreated from that position.
He now says he doubts that government policy can address climate issues.
The second half of this is actually pretty good.
