Climate change
Earth’s climate has been changing since the planet formed and it has been warming – on and off – since the last Ice Age, when a glacier more than a mile thick covered most of North America. Despite increasingly hysterical attempts by leftist politicians to stifle debate and punish contrary viewpoints, questions over the impact of human activity on this natural phenomenon are, in my opinion, dubious, political and unconvincing.
Climate change
I certainly don’t want to die a traitor’s death, so I want the record to be very clear: I believe that the earth’s climate is changing and that our planet is warming.
The same votes are shown for every member of Congress on the ballot, so records can be compared across states.
