Oh, Look! Incoming GOP Rep From Coastal SC Says Climate Science "Isn't Settled"

Another Mace priority will be introducing or co-sponsoring the "Parris Island Protection Act" to prohibit the use of federal funds to close, or plan the closure of, the storied Marine Corps training depot in the 1st District.

Some reports indicated the Pentagon was interested in relocating the depot to accommodate a new federal requirement that women be able to train at the facility as well as men. But Rep. John Garamendi (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, recently explained the military installation actually had to move because rising sea levels could put the entire complex underwater nearly 30% of the year by 2050 (E&E Daily, Oct. 2).

Mace raised eyebrows on the campaign trail by questioning climate change science. The 1st District has become especially vulnerable to "extreme weather events" that have caused massive flooding and destruction of property. During one debate against Cunningham, however, when pressed by moderators to say whether she believed that humans were contributing to global warming and the severity of natural disasters, Mace said the science was not "settled" (E&E Daily, Sept. 29).

Mace could also alienate congressional Democrats by continuing to demonize supporters of the controversial Green New Deal, as she did during her congressional campaign. "Republicans need to make freedom and entrepreneurship sexy again," Mace said in last week's interview. "People think there is an infinite amount of money ... the massive taxes with the Green New Deal, tax the hell out of everybody."
