50 Minnesota Republicans Say Humans Aren’t ‘Key Cause Of Climate Change’ [1]

"Minnesota House members revealed Wednesday whether they believe humans are causing climate change.

It broke largely along party lines: 79 lawmakers, including all 75 Democrats, voted yes, and 50 Republicans voted no. Five Republicans did not vote.

They voted on this sentence:

“The legislature finds and declares that greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities are a key cause of climate change.”

That was all it was. No money, no regulations."

Dave Orrick reports for the Twin Cities Pioneer Press April 24, 2019. [2]
