The new House speaker is a champion for fossil fuels

Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana, the newly elected House speaker, has questioned climate science and opposed clean energy, and he received more campaign contributions from oil and gas companies than from any other industry last year.

At a town hall in 2017, Johnson said: 'The climate is changing, but the question is, is it being caused by natural cycles over the span of the Earth's history? Or is it changing because we drive S.U.V.s? I don't believe in the latter. I don't think that's the primary driver.'

So says this fool who believes in fairy tales rather than science.
