Mississippi GOP Sen. Wicker ‘unabashed in denying global warming’
“Scientific research is advanced by asking questions and allowing for multiple viewpoints. With so much at stake – our economy, our livelihoods, and our environment – we should be tolerant of differences of opinion.”
“The facts are in dispute about whether significant warming has occurred at all over the past two decades,” he said. “There is a considerable body of scientific work to indicate that there has been no appreciable global temperature rise in the past 15 to 20 years. Anyone who refuses to acknowledge this continuing debate has simply not read all of the material available.”
“I believe the climate has changed numerous times over the course of history and that these changes have happened naturally,” he told McClatchy. “To the extent that there has been some warming over the past century, I do not think it was caused by human activity.”
