Editing Paul Ryan (section)

== On Climate Change ==
When asked whether human activity is contributing to climate change, Ryan responsed: "I don't know the answer to that question. I don't think science does, either." From 2014 [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/13/paul-ryan-climate-change_n_5980398.html]] This response comes despite the fact that a large majority of scientists agree that climate change is caused by humans. 

"Climate change occurs no matter what. The question is, can and should the federal government do something about it? And I would argue the federal government, with all its tax and regulatory schemes, can't. And all it will do is end up hurting our country, our people and especially low-income individuals," he added. 2014 [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/30/paul-ryan-climate-change_n_5635058.html]]

Ryan has accused scientists of engaging in conspiracy to "intentionally mislead the public on the issue of climate change." [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/al-gore/paul-ryan-climate-change_b_1774436.html]]

Again, despite scientific near consensus, Ryan stated there is "growing disagreement among scientists about climate change and its causes."[[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/al-gore/paul-ryan-climate-change_b_1774436.html]]
