Mike Pence: Questions scientific community on ozone & global warming

[In his 2000 Congressional campaign debate], Pence tried to change topics, saying, "My Democratic opponent tries to put me in the extreme by saying global warming is a myth. The reality is there is a growing number in the scientific community who are questioning, just questioning, which scientists are supposed to do, some of the theories of global warming, the erosion of the ozone layer." Pence then made a clever move, saying that his Democratic opponent must surely support the treaty to combat global warming supported by the Democratic candidate, Al Gore. [Democratic opponent] Bob Rock said he'd have to study more before making that decision. Then Pence cut him off, "Well if I believe that global warming is real, then I would support the treaty."
