Pathetic! Cory Gardner Claims He's A "National Leader On Climate"; No Mention On His Senate Website

[hatrack]

When Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner first ran for Senate in 2014, the phrase “climate change,” “global warming,” or other words describing the destruction of the Earth’s atmosphere, didn’t appear on his campaign website, except in a linked news release slamming his opponent for supporting Obama’s “Overreach on Climate.” ut now, with pollsters saying Gardner can’t win November’s election without support from swing voters who want action on the climate crisis, Gardner has unveiled a new campaign website that claims he’s a “national leader” on “climate change policies that achieve results.”


For more than a decade, Cory has been a national leader advocating for commonsense energy and climate change policies that achieve results,” states Gardner’s new campaign website. "…Cory rejects the false choice between addressing climate change and economic growth. Instead, his bipartisan approach aims to reduce emissions, combat climate change, and grow the economy,” states Gardner’s new website in the section titled, “Colorado’s Senator, Colorado’s Priorities.”

EDIT

In fact, it’s hard to find evidence that Gardner is a “national leader” on climate change, as his new campaign website claims. And Gardner’s office did not return a call seeking to know why he thinks he’s a national leader on the issue–and what “commonsense” climate change policies he’s put forward. Over his career, Gardner has said in multiple interviews that the climate is warming but that the human contribution to the problem is hyped in the news media. Gardner voted five times to stop the EPA from regulating the major climate-change pollutant. In the Senate, he’s opposed policies that would reduce emissions causing climate change, like Obama’s Clean Power Plan and the BLM methane rule.

In fact, the phrase “climate change” is completely absent from his list of priorities in the Senate, as stated on the “Issues” page of Gardner’s official Senate website. This suggests that he isn’t making climate change a priority for his work in Congress, much less being a “national leader” on “climate change policies that achieve results,” as his re-election website states.
