UPDATE: No Friend to the Environment: Republican Representative Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming's At-Large Congressional District


Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have a lot of catching up to do with the American public, even folks in their own party.


Many Conservative Republicans Believe Climate Change Is a Real Threat.  (The New York Times, 9/28/2015)
The survey was commissioned by Jay Faison, a North Carolina businessman who calls himself a conservative Republican and has announced that he intends to spend $10 million on efforts to lobby Republicans to embrace the issue of climate change. He has spent $165 million to start a nonprofit foundation, ClearPath, aimed at promoting climate change and clean energy policies that could appeal to conservatives.

For Wyoming, climate change is now.  (Slate, 4/13/2015)
Less snowpack on mountains west of the Continental Divide means less water for the western states, where there is a monumental drought. If you think global warming and climate change are things that will only happen sometime in the nebulous future, think again. They’re happening now.

Alabama Congressional delegation:  U.S. House of Representatives.   (Their anti-environmentalism can be summed up in one world:  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)
