Heartland Instituite Clown James Taylor Tells ID Legislature How Good Warming Is; Thanked By GOP

An attorney with an Illinois-based group that dismisses human-caused climate change told Idaho lawmakers Thursday that the warming that has occurred has had a net benefit for the state.

James Taylor of the Heartland Institute told the House Resources and Conservation Committee that modest warming had increased crop production and has had other benefits.

Republican Reps. Dorothy Moon and John Vander Woude thanked Taylor for what they said was useful information.

Democratic House Minority Leader Ilana Rubel asked Taylor if he had worked with any Idaho scientists who warned that global warming would have extensive and costly ramifications for the state. Taylor said he had not.
