It would be interesting to hear Rep. Griffin back up this assertion.  Nowadays, most Republican legislators claim not to be scientists -- although that hasn't stopped them from providing abundant advice on women's health issues.
 
Griffin won re-election to a 3rd term with 63.4% of the vote.   (Rode into Congress on the Tea Party wave, in other words.)
 
No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one word:  coal.  Which is odd, since Alabama contributes a mere 1.9% of U.S. production, good enough for an overall ranking of 13.  The state's peak year of production:  1990)

  • At-large District.  Don Young (R).   Ridiculed environmentalists as a “self-centered bunch of waffle-stomping, Harvard-graduating, intellectual idiots.....not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans.”
