Mark Robinson on Energy & Oil

	Mark Robinson on Energy & Oil

Keep the climate change cabal out of this state

Climate

Mark Robinson (R): No. Climate change is "junk science." Educators who teach climate science are "liars." Will "keep the climate change cabal out of this state." "We have now allowed those folks to dictate what we do based on pseudoscience."
Josh Stein (D): Yes. Sees a "climate emergency." "We need to take swift action to protect our planet." Will "work to prepare our state for the impacts of climate change." Supported incentives for rooftop solar and would work to dramatically reduce carbon emissions in North Carolina.

Climate change lies are based on junk science

Mark Robinson also holds extreme views on the environment. When it comes to climate change, he adamantly denies it as "junk science." And in another speech, he said, "I'm sick of these lies about global warming. Stop talking to me about climate change. I know the climate changes, it happens four times a year, it's called seasons!"

Robinson has made it clear he will side with polluters, rather than standing up to protect clean water and clean air. He has said he wants to relax regulations and threatened to "keep the climate change, the climate change cabal out of this state and if they are in a state, keeping them in chains."
