A Republican lawmaker has sparked controversy after reportedly questioning the reality of climate change by pointing to the Bible, arguing that the issue is not addressed in scripture. Her remarks have reignited debate over the role of religious beliefs in discussions about climate science and environmental policy.
Minnesota Representative Mary Franson made the remarks during a House Capital Investment Committee meeting, saying she was not concerned about climate change. The discussion focused on future weather trends and infrastructure, but Franson said she did not become concerned by the issue, arguing that her faith was not placed in climate change or scientists directing environmental policy.
