Joni Ernst Quotes

Climate change - we can debate that until the cows come home, for lack of a better way of stating that. The bottom line is, I do not believe that man is contributing to that factor.

I don't think the human effect [of climate change] is significant compared to the natural effect.

I do [believe climate change is man-made].

We may achieve climate, but weather is thrust upon us.

Call me a converted skeptic. Prior estimates of the rate of warming were correct … humans are almost entirely the cause.

Among all of our uncertainties weather is the most basic. We can’t live without it and we can’t control it.

Clearly the climate is changing, whether caused by CO2 emissions or some other cause.

I do absolutely believe that the climate is changing. I'm not prepared to determine causation.

This [climate change] is potentially so dangerous that we have to act strongly. Do we want to play Russian roulette with two bullets or one?

Global warming, climate change, it's a total.

The report on climate change said that humans are very likely making the planet warmer. To which Hillary Clinton said, 'Hey, can't blame me for that one.'

It is your human environment that makes climate

I believe the climate is changing.

But for Republicans and conservatives, it's both willfully ignorant and negligent not to acknowledge that there is in fact a scientific consensus that the Earth is warming and man is responsible for much of it.

Climate change is real and humans do contribute to those changes.

I'm often asked whether I believe in Global Warming. I now just reply with the question: "Do you believe in Gravity?"

To reduce the interpretation of the causality of all kinds of climate changes and of global warming to one variable, CO2, or to a small proportion of one variable - human-induced CO2 - is impossible to accept. Elementary rationality and my decades-long experience with econometric modelling and statistical testing of scientific hypotheses tell me that it is impossible to make strong conclusions based on mere correlation of two (or more) time series.

We don't know what's causing climate change on this planet. And the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us.

I like to think of climate action as a three-legged stool.

Maybe the science is uncertain, maybe we don't have to worry about it. Climate change is the worst, but there's others.

For everybody who thinks it's warming, I can find somebody who thinks it isn't.

Ask almost anybody if they think the climate?s changed in the last couple of decades and they will all say ?yes? and give you lots of examples.

The scientific evidence of how serious this climate crisis is becoming continues to amass week after week after week.

There is scientific evidence that demonstrates there is some impact from human activities. However I don't think the evidence is conclusive.

The climate is obviously changing dramatically.
