Louisiana's Climate Change Deniers

Meet Louisiana's climate change deniers.
Michael Byrne/Motherboard

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA-01)

Climate change denier

"While their global warming agenda continues to lose support, it's ironic that radical environmentalists are at it again, less than a month after NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), announced the Great Lakes had the most widespread ice coverage in over 35 years. Thirty years ago liberals were using global cooling to push new radical regulations. Then they shifted their focus to global warming in an effort to prop up wave after wave of job-killing regulations that are leading to skyrocketing food and energy costs."

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)

Poor climate change voting record

"The problem has to be addressed with market-based solutions rather than government. I support energy conservation, nuclear energy and encouraging technology to burn clean burning coal. I don't support a cap and trade policy. I don't support an energy tax. If it's such a swell idea, let China go first."
