Destroying the environment will save America’s economy, according to Stephen Colbert.
On Monday night, Colbert hailed the efforts of Montana State Rep. Joe Read (R), who introduced a bill to declare that global warming was not only real, but that it was good for the state. Colbert agreed, saying it would surely boost the state’s tourism industry.
“Visitors will flock to Glacier National Park once it becomes Glacier National Water Park,” he said.
Colbert then cited a provision in the bill that says global warming isn’t a proven scientific fact, quickly turning it back around to describe the state representative himself.
“A reasonable amount of CO2 has no verifiable effect on the environment,” Colbert said, referring to a passage in the bill. “Just as no reasonable amount of science has a verifiable effect on Joe Read.”
