Jeb Bush: The latest Bush on the scene almost went there, making the downright moderate assertion that “the climate is changing and I’m concerned about that.” But he was careful to point out that climate change definitely wasn’t going to be a priority; later, he backtracked, saying, “I don’t think the science is clear on what percentage is man-made and what percentage is natural.” Oh, and he thinks it’s “arrogant” to point out that the science, in fact, couldn’t be clearer.
Marco Rubio: Less concerned than he should be that the southern part of his state is already beginning to drown, the Florida senator has laid out his position: “I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it. And I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it, except it will destroy our economy.”
Bobby Jindal: OK, so the Louisiana governor believes that climate change is happening and that we should think about doing something, even if he’s not convinced that humans are all that responsible. But the plans we do have, like the Clean Power Plan and the upcoming U.N. negotiations, are no-gos for him. When it comes down to it, he thinks climate change is a “Trojan horse” the government will use to come in and suppress individual freedoms.
Rick Santorum: Is the climate changing? Sure. Is human activity causing it? That’s anyone’s guess. “Is there anything the U.S. can do about it? Clearly, no,” the former U.S. senator told CNN.
Rand Paul: Sure, sometimes the climate changes, but the Kentucky senator is ”not sure anybody exactly knows why.” He finds the idea that we should take climate change seriously as a major national security threat to be downright laughable.
Mike Huckabee: Long, long ago, the evangelical former governor of Arkansas acknowledged that climate change “is real; it’s happening.” He’s since backtracked, and, on the natural security front, will have you know that “a beheading is much worse than a sunburn.”
Ted Cruz: The Texas senator and Ivy Leaguer will take any of your reasonable and scientifically sound assertions about climate change and spit back a bunch of nonsense that proves only he, in the words of California Gov. Jerry Brown, “betokens such a level of ignorance and a direct falsification of scientific data” that it’s “shocking.”
Donald Trump: The celebrity candidate doesn’t just believe that climate change isn’t happening. He believes that “any and all weather events are used by the GLOBAL WARMING HOAXSTERS to justify higher taxes to save our planet!”
Ben Carson: The planet’s always heating up, or cooling down, so this entire conversation is “irrelevant.”
Rick Perry: It’s not that the former Texas governor is a scientist (he’s not, he tells us), but still, “calling CO2 a pollutant is doing a disservice [to] the country, and I believe a disservice to the world.”
