John Boehner (R - Delusional) was on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. In the interview, he was asked about global warming in the following exchange:

BOEHNER: When it comes to the issue of climate change, George, it’s pretty clear that if we don’t work with other industrialized nations around the world, what’s going to happen is that we’re going to ship millions of American jobs overseas. We have to deal with this in a responsible way.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So what is the responsible way? That’s my question. What is the Republican plan to deal with carbon emissions, which every major scientific organization has said is contributing to climate change?

BOEHNER: George, the idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you’ve got more carbon dioxide. And so I think it’s clear…

STEPHANOPOULOS: So you don’t believe that greenhouse gases are a problem in creating climate change?

BOEHNER: … we’ve had climate change over the last 100 years — listen, it’s clear we’ve had change in our climate. The question is how much does man have to do with it, and what is the proper way to deal with this? We can’t do it alone as one nation. If we got India, China and other industrialized countries not working with us, all we’re going to do is ship millions of American jobs overseas.

The look on George’s face was indescribable. When John said that we put out carbon dioxide, so it can’t be bad, my first thought was that we also put out all sorts of bacteria out the other end that aren’t terribly healthy should they be ingested. On the subject of international cooperation, my statement was “Oh, you mean like the Kyoto Protocol, that thing we signed by never ratified?” A co-worker of mine made the comment that he doesn’t know whats worse: That Boehner believes what he’s saying or that he knows he’s lying and doing it anyway.
