Meet the climate change deniers in Utah.

Rep. Rob Bishop (R-UT-01)

"Despite the fact that scientific data underlying the studies of global warming appear to have been manipulated to produce an intended outcome, EPA officials disregarded the contaminated science, calling it little more than a blip on the history of this process. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the EPA is more interested in grabbing power over our entire country than in getting the science and the answer right."

Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT-02)

"…the science regarding climate change is anything but settled. Indeed, there is wide recognition among climate scientists that none of the 20 primary models used to forecast climate change have proven to be reliable."

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT-03)

"Is our air and is our quality of life affected by what we throw into the air and in the water? Yes, of course, but the Al Gore defined global warming is a farce, it is."

Rep. Mia Love (R-UT-04)

Voted in support of S.J. Res. 24, a "resolution of disapproval" under the Congressional Review Act that would nullify the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan—the first nation-wide limit on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, and key climate change policy.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT)

"There is also some disagreement among scientists as to whether global warming—regardless of its cause – would result in a net benefit or detriment to life on earth. Scientific studies demonstrate overwhelmingly that humans tend to fare better during warming spells than periods of cooling."

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)

"A big debate in our society about climate change. There can be no dispute that the climate is changing. Climates change. It's what they do. They always have, and they always will.
