Sen. Paul Gazelka, the Senate Majority Leader in the Minnesota Legislature, says he doesn’t think “anyone will complain” if climate change causes the state to warm by 2 degrees celsius.
The leading Republican in the Minnesota Senate made the statement on Twitter, in response to a tweet by WCCO reporting on Minneapolis’ decision to declare a “climate emergency.”
“Stop scaring Minnesotans! Clean energy yes, panic no,” he wrote. “The sky is not falling. We are taking better care of the environment. We can focus on clean energy that is reliable and affordable. If Minnesota is 2 degrees warmer in 100 years, I don’t think anyone will complain.”
