http://www.youtube.com/user/climatebrad">climatebrad — 11 April 2010 — 9/5/09: At an anti-union rally he sponsored on Labor Day in Holden, WV, killer coal baron Don Blankenship attacks the Mine Safety and Health Administration and elected officials who attempt to ensure miner safety, calling their efforts "as silly as global warming."

BLANKENSHIP: We also endure a Mine Safety and Health Administration that seeks power over coal miners versus improving their safety and their health. As someone who has overseen the mining of more coal than anyone else in the history of central Appalachia, I know that the safety and health of coal miners is my most important job. I don't need Washington politicians to tell me that, and neither do you. But I also know -- I also know Washington and state politicians have no idea how to improve miner safety. The very idea that they care more about coal miner safety than we do is as silly as global warming.



Must see TYT video that explains how this is utter bullshit...
