| Aderholt, Robert | Alabama | 4 | R | Congressman Robert Aderholt disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2010 op-ed in The Daily Mountain Eagle, the Congressman flouted the science that underpins climate change blaming current warming on natural cycles, writing, "I fall into the second group of people who believe, as do many very credible scientists, that the earth is currently in a natural warming cycle rather than a man-made climate change. Many scientists believe that natural cycles of warming and cooling have existed since the beginning of Earth. If we take the current models of climate prediction and apply those same models to what actually happened in the last thirty years, the models are shown to be very flawed. In addition, what knowledge we do have of a warming period in the Middle Ages cannot be explained by current models which are focused on greenhouse gas reductions." | 0 | 0 | In a 2013 press release on the economic climate the Congressman Aderholt stated, “While Obama's Organizing for Action is showing concern about the climate change debate, hardworking Alabamians and I are concerned with our nation’s dismal jobs climate... The biggest denial is that the Obama Administration’s burdensome EPA regulations that have increased the cost of manufacturing and doing business, that Obamacare driving up the cost of healthcare and crippling hiring, and catering to special interest groups like those that are stalling the Keystone Pipeline are not the root cause our nation’s dismal jobs climate.” Congressman Aderholt demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Aderholt co-sponsored a 2021 resolution by Rep.

Allen opposed the Clean Power Plan, stating in a 2017 post of Rick's Weekly Report, stating "I believe the Clean Power Plan, one of the most drastic environmental regulations in history, did very little to help the environment, but instead, burdened families through reduced income, stifled economic growth and increased electricity costs."

According to a 2013 article in Talk Business & Politics the Congressman stated, "There's not sound science to support some of the initiatives that the President, I think, is committed to. We know that some of the research was faulty and it drove a lot of the agenda for a long time, and then it turned out there were some questions about the validity of that research.

This is a power source that provides affordable heating and power for Arkansans, especially those in rural parts of the state. By propagating new regulations like the one President Obama announced on Friday, he misunderstands who will truly bear the heavy burden of his actions."

| Gosar, Paul A. | Arizona | 9 | R | Congressman Paul Gosar disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to a 2019 Axios article, when asked about climate change by a Green New Deal protestor, the Congressman answered, "Unfortunately you haven't been taught about photosynthesis.

We haven't taught kids exactly what's going on in America and in science." | 0 | 0 | In a 2017 press release advocating against the Paris Agreement, Congressman Gosar stated, "This unconstitutional treaty is nothing more than an extension of the Obama Administration’s ideological war on affordable energy." The Congressman also wrote a 2014 op-ed for the news publication, Town Hall, where he boycotted the Pope's address on climate change stating, "The earth's climate has been changing since God created it, with or without man. On that, we should all agree… If the Pope wants to devote his life to fighting climate change then he can do so in his personal time.

| Higgins, Clay | Louisiana | 3 | R | Congressman Higgins disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. In a 2017 interview with PBS News Hour, the Congressman Higgins stated, "I certainly do not disagree with the fact that climate change happens, but I do think it is reasonable to question very carefully the science that has used models, which has sometimes come under fire for having been sort of fraudulently manipulated in order to produce a result... Climate change has existed for well before human history. So the question is not whether or not our climate changes across the planet, nor is it really a question that the human race does have some sort of impact upon climate change..." | 0 | 0 | The Congressman ignored the true causes of coastal erosion. On his campaign page, instead of correctly blaming sea level rise and oil spills, he claimed that coastal erosion was caused by decreased sediment, stating, "Throughout history, the Louisiana marshland was replenished by river sediments – land-building deposits derived from the Mississippi River overflowing its banks. But in the early 1900s, a decision was made to levee the river as we know it today. So for the last 80 or 90 years, south Louisiana has been lacking that natural re-building process." The Congressman also does not make prominent public statements on climate action, nor does he make the issue a priority. On his energy and environment page he touts the benefits of fossil fuels, stating, "Even with the fluctuations in oil prices, Louisiana’s fossil fuels industry remains a bright spot and major contributor to our state and national economy."

A host of leaders in the scientific community have recognized that the argument for drastic anthropogenic global warming is no longer based on science, but is being driven by irrational fanaticism." | 0 | 0 | In a 2022 press release, the Congressman stated "The SEC is engaging in these rulemakings to advance the Biden Administration’s environmental agenda. The intellectual foundation for these rulemakings leaves little doubt that the purpose of these rulemakings is not truly an attempt to provide financially material information to investors for all companies; the real intent is to fight climate change. Congress, however, has not passed any securities-related law that would allow for that to be a legitimate aim of Commission rulemaking.

Fourth, and very importantly, the Paris agreement accomplished almost nothing in exchange for all those extraordinary costs. Even the most optimistic studies projected that if all its conditions were met, the agreement would reduce global temperatures by only 0.2 degree Celsius. That’s a far cry from 'saving the planet.'" Congressman Johnson is a supporter of oil and gas exploration, stating in a press release, that, "The Trump administration’s decision to allow enhanced exploration, leasing and development within the Outer Continental Shelf, previously closed to such activities, prioritizes home-grown energy production and puts the United States one step closer to achieving energy dominance."

In a 2013 press release responding to a speech President Obama gave on climate change, the Congressman stated, “In spite of serious, ongoing crises in trouble spots around the world, President Obama recently flew abroad to name climate change, of all things, the ‘global threat of our time.’ Despite the thousands of jobs that the Keystone XL pipeline is guaranteed to create and the vast public support it enjoys, the president refuses to approve it. Despite the hundreds of thousands of jobs derived from our nation’s coal industry – including more than 40,000 jobs in Pennsylvania – and the affordable energy it provides our communities, the White House’s climate advisor has shockingly declared that ‘a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.'"

The Paris Agreement – which should have been considered a treaty from the very beginning – was written with Americans and their elected representatives as an afterthought. It would result in unfair domestic harm for American workers, taxpayers, consumers, manufacturers, and energy producers. We would shoulder most of the cost and gain no measurable reward. There’s a reason President Obama never submitted this accord to the Senate for proper approval: it would have been rejected as a very bad deal for America, and rightly so."

However, the data on which these ‘discoveries’ are based have not been made available to the general scientific community for review or fact-checking. This has brought into question the overall motives of the EPA and other agencies who are demanding more environmental regulations.

In a press release, he stated, "The EPA’s regulations on new and existing power plants would be devastating to our economy if they are implemented. In my home state of Georgia alone, electricity prices would be expected to increase by 12 percent; and, with the average American household already spending $15,000 a year on hidden regulatory taxes, the Clean Power Plan is simply unworkable."

In a 2016 press release advocating against a federal carbon fee, the Congressman stated, "The last thing that the federal government needs to do is to add more tax burdens on hardworking Americans. The President’s plan to tax carbon is yet another attempt to grow the government and cut private sector jobs. While environmental issues are important, the solution is not to make gas and electricity more expensive for consumers. Instead, we need to further encourage businesses to explore alternative energy options, so we can protect the environment and allow Americans to keep their hard-earned money in their pockets.” The Congressman also co-sponsored a 2019 resolution by Rep.

The House sent a strong bipartisan message to President Obama that a tax on carbon would devastate our economy and he needs to drop any idea of imposing this kind of radical regulation." | 0 | 0 | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/scalise-sidesteps-climate-change-debate-earths-temperature-goes-up-and-down/

| Simpson, Mike | Idaho | 2 | R | Congressman Mike Simpson disagrees with the scientific consensus that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. On the Congressman's climate change page, it states, "Many scientists agree that the earth’s climate is changing, and these assertions are backed up by land managers who are witnessing changes in plants and animal behavior as the climate shifts. While scientists cannot explain the climate changes of the past few decades without including the effects of elevated greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations resulting from the use of fossil fuels, there is widespread disagreement as to the magnitude of human influence on the climate and the degree to which any effort by humanity to reduce carbon output would slow or reverse the effects of climate change." | 0 | 0 | In a 2019 press release opposing the Green New Deal, the Congressman stated, "Proposed as an economic and environmental transformation, the Green New Deal is an irresponsible ploy that should have our nation green with nausea rather than envy... The crusade against “farting cows” might be considered noble or a bit funny by some in the Bronx, but to the ranchers who are up before the sun feeding cows, this isn’t a joke." Congressman Simpson demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Simpson makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. On his climate change page, he states, "I am concerned, however, regarding efforts to tax carbon output or to layer so many regulations on top of carbon-based energy sources that it they become unfeasible. I don’t think this is an answer to the energy crisis facing our nation—not only does it make energy production so expensive that American families will see their energy bills increase to unsustainable rates, but it also forces us to continue depending on foreign sources of energy." Congressman Simpson voted in favor of a 2018 resolution by Rep. Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119). | 0 | 0 | https://simpson.house.gov/issuestatements/climatechange.htm

| Stefanik, Elise | New York | 21 | R | At first glance, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik appears to understand the importance of climate action as a top priority issue, but it's all a lie. In an interview with Mountain Lake PBS, the Congresswoman when asked about climate change stated, "It is urgent and it's a generational issue. I'm one of the younger members of Congress no longer the youngest but this is something that my generation is going to inherit. I've been a leader when it comes to not only the acknowledgment of climate change but also the focus on science-based solutions. I've been a leader when it comes to promoting renewable energy both nationally but specifically in the district." According to Adirondack Daily Enterprise, "Elise Stefanik is funded by gas, oil, fracking, coal interests, Koch brothers and Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, yet she claims she takes climate change seriously. She invokes her 'all-of-the above' position – a phrase as uninforming as it was when President Obama used it. It indicates nothing about priorities." | 0 | 0 | Congresswoman Stefanik misrepresents everything about her position and action on climate change. The Congresswoman is a co-sponsor of the 2021 Growing Climate Solutions act, legislation that she says would "help solve technical entry barriers that prevent farmers and private landowners from participating in carbon markets." This is beneficial, because, as stated by the Congresswoman herself, "farmers play a critical role in reducing global greenhouse emissions and creating sensible climate policy, and we must equip them tools and resources to be successful." Over 200 farmer, farmworker, environmental justice, climate, environmental, faith-based, animal welfare, and other groups rejected ‘Growing Climate Solutions Act.’ | 0 | Congresswoman Stefanik makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Wagner, Ann | Missouri | 2 | R | Congresswoman Ann Wagner disagrees with the scientific consensus that that climate change is real and human-made, from burning fossil fuels. According to the Riverfront Times, Rep. Ann Wagner was quoted stating, "The field of climate science is in its relative infancy and it appears that some within the public policy world have made dubious assessments of scientific information in order to further their own political agenda. Our policy response to this dilemma should not be based on inconsistent and unsound science or driven by the fear of a supposed catastrophe." | 0 | 0 | On Congresswoman Wagner's, 'Energy,' page, it states, "I believe we must fully cultivate our oil resources by ending drilling moratoriums, increasing onshore and offshore production, and approving permits that would assist in transporting oil from North Dakota's Bakken." Congresswoman Wagner demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congresswoman Wagner opposes or votes against a U.S. fee on carbon.

| Walberg, Tim | Michigan | 5 | R | According to a 2017 Time Magazine article, during a town hall when asked his stance on climate change, the Congressman stated, "I believe there’s climate change. I believe there’s been climate change since the beginning of time. Do I think man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No... Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I’m confident that, if there’s a real problem, he can take care of it.” | 0 | 0 | In a September 2019 interview on the Steve Gruber Show, the Congressman stated when asked about climate change, "These last several weeks of August it has been a huge issue especially when you see the Democratic candidates talking about it and the Green New Deal, but that is not going to work." Congressman Walberg demonstrates a lack of leadership with public statements, advocacy or votes against climate action. | 0 | Congressman Walberg makes public statements or advocates against putting a U.S. fee on carbon. In a 2016 press release, after voting to oppose a national carbon tax, the Congressman stated, "For the Michigan families struggling each month to pay their bills, a new $10 oil tax would be yet another blow to their pocketbooks. During a time of sluggish economic growth, the last thing we need is a misguided tax that will increase energy prices and hurt job creation. America's energy policies should encourage more innovation and production, not try at every turn to make energy more expensive for consumers."

Steve Scalise that would have expressed the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy (H. Con. Res. 119).
