Bond: "If You Actually Believe Climate Science..."

Kit Bond says that even "if you actually believe climate science," the US shouldn't worry about reducing its carbon emissions because China will probably keep polluting too. In other words, maintaining the status quo is the best course of action, even for those who "actually believe  climate science."

Tuesday, Bond said that carbon pollution isn't a problem because "without carbon, my trees would die."  Last summer, he told KY3 that "there is not a crisis in global warming."

Can someone explain why we're supposed to take any leaders seriously who won't join the rest of us in the real world?
