A Super PAC funded by liberal billionaire and environmentalist Tom
Steyer has announced it will spend as much as $100 million this election
season attacking Republicans in seven key states who it says are
climate-science “deniers.”
“I think the climate is changing, but I don’t believe humans are causing that change to the extent that’s been in the news.”
The Republicans being targeted by Steyer’s political committee, NextGen Climate Action, include Govs.
Rick Scott of Florida, Paul LePage of Maine and Tom Corbett of
Pennsylvania, as well as GOP Senate candidates Cory Gardner in Colorado,
Joni Ernst and Mark Jacobs in Iowa, Terri Lynn Land in Michigan and
Scott Brown in New Hampshire. These states – all of which President Barack Obama won in both 2008
and 2012 – also play an important role in 2016, given that Iowa and New
Hampshire are early presidential nominating contests, and that Colorado
and Florida are top general-election battlegrounds. MORE
