Rep. Upton was elected to a 15th term with 56% of the vote.  Upon chairs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Recommended reading for Rep. Upton and the constituents of his southwest Lower Peninsula district.
MSU's Robertson says climate change will probably affect us in two ways. The first way is what he calls the "well behaved" changes, such as the predictable nature of effects from warmer temperatures. The second way climate change will affect us is what he terms "ill mannered" effects. Those effects are the unpredictable outcomes of extreme weather events like droughts and floods. 

No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.
