Rob Portman Quotes

For every expert that says humans are the cause of 'climate change' there are 10 more who say we aren't.

There is no doubt our earth is warming and our seas rising - or that humankind is the cause. There is no evidence to refute this - or any genuine scientific counterargument in the climate change debate.

The debate is over. The scientific community has spoken in a virtually unanimous voice. Climate change is real. It is caused by human activity.

...99 percent confident that the world really was getting warmer and that there was a high degree of probability that it was due to human-made greenhouse gases.

Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it.

The science is clear that there is an increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. What is not clear from the science is how much of that increase is caused by human activity; and what also is not clear is what impact those increases have on the climatic cycle.

There is no question that climate change is happening; the only arguable point is what part humans are playing in it.

Global warming has become a new religion. We frequently hear about the number of scientists who support it. But the number is not important: only whether they are correct is important. We don't really know what the actual effect on the global temperature is. There are better ways to spend the money.

I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.

This notion that manmade climate change is happening is wrong.

For someone to say that someone's a skeptic or a climate denier about the climate changing, that's just nonsensical. We see that throughout history. We impact the climate by our activity. How much so is very difficult to determine with respect to our CO2 or carbon footprint, but we obviously do.

When it comes to climate change and the environment, President Donald Trump is plain wrong.

I believe the Earth is warming.

I'm not going to argue with scientists how much human activity affects natural environment, including climate.

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

I don’t think we have conclusive proof that humans are at the center of [global warming]

Once upon a time, I was a climate-change skeptic.

Much of the debate over global warming is predicated on fear, rather than science.

The basic science is very well established; it is well understood that global warming is due to greenhouse gases. What is uncertain is projections about specifics in the next few decades, by how much will the climate change.

I think Al Gore has done a great service in making global warming cool. He's basically taken it from a nerdy, almost ignored issue to making it what it is - namely, a problem.

Global warming is a political issue. It is as much a political issue to the left as abortion is. It's as big a political issue as health care is.

The idea that global warming is the most important problem facing the world is total nonsense and is doing a lot of harm.

Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.

Climate change is very real.

I never thought I'd be investigating global warming. I believe it's real and that saving the planet is good.
