GOP congressman: God will 'take care of' climate change Tim Walberg made comments during town hall
Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg
Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg insisted during a town hall meeting that although he believes in climate change, he thinks it's up to God to solve it.
"I believe there's climate change. I believe there's been climate change since the beginning of time," Walberg said. "Do I think man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No."
Time reports Walberg went on to say that because he's a Christian, he believes that if there's a problem, God will take care of it.
Walberg's comments were met with constituent grumbles.
