Amy Coney Barrett said Wednesday climate change is a controversial topic still up for public debate. The left-leaning policy bloc Climate Power 2020 said, 'It is disqualifying ... to refuse to acknowledge that climate change is real.'
Man-made climate change — the long-run threat to the global economy and security that serves as the basis for competing clean-energy bills by both parties — is a controversial topic still up for public debate, so off limits for her, Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett said Wednesday.
Harris, recalling previous comments by the nominee, said Barrett “made clear” she believes climate change is debatable, pressing the judge again by asking: “Do you believe it is happening and that it affects the air and environment?” “ ‘I will not express a view on a matter of public controversy, especially when it’s politically controversial.’ ”
