Editing John Kasich


== On Climate Change ==
“I am a believer — my goodness I am a Republican — I happen to believe there is a problem with climate change. I don’t want to overreact to it, I can’t measure it all, but I respect the creation that the Lord has given us and I want to make sure we protect it...But we can’t overreact to it and make things up, but it is something we have to recognize is a problem...I am just saying that I am concerned about it, but I am not laying awake at night worrying the sky is falling. I just have a concern about it." 2012 [[http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/225073-kasich-touts-climate-belief-but-wont-apologize-for-coal]]

Asked for his response to Pope Francis and his doctrine on climate change, Kasich said "I read a great book on St. Franics of Assisi, who the pope kind of models himself after. The environment was given to us by the lord and it needs to be taken care of. It shouldn't be worshiped, that is called pantheism. The pope pointing out the fact that we need to take care of the environment, that is good, I don't agree with his conclusion that all of it is bad because of free enterprise." 2015 [[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/06/21/john_kasich_to_pope_francis_the_environment_shouldnt_be_worshiped_--_that_is_called_pantheism.html]]
