Position on climate change
“Rather than rely exclusively on IPCC for scientific advice, Idaho policymakers should seek advice from independent, nongovernment organizations and scientists. Much of what has been done to combat climate change has been wasteful and even counterproductive. Idaho could do much better to protect its environment by enacting policies that cost less and require fewer regulations. Idaho should base its climate policies on the hazards that apply to its particular geography, geology, weather, and economy.” (Source)
