This quotation was very important in the history of global warming and weather change. At the time, most Republicans and large business executives rejected the overwhelming scientific evidence and testimony that the increased global warming was real and was caused by human activity. However, Tillerson with his scientific engineering training realized that rejection of the science was absurd and dangerous. He thought that it was manageable through science and technology whereas many environmentalists rejected that view with the same type irrationality of the Republican deniers. Tillerson was only one Republican executive but his admission had a profound effect on others. The global warming denial politicians however paid him little heed as for them the issue had become ideology and not science or rationality.
