The Democratic Party of New Mexico was not amused. It seems that Dr. Schmitt is a global warming skeptic.
"On many occasions, Schmitt has scoffed at decades of sound scientific evidence and a mountain of research that validated the human causes of global climate change.
"In one instance he told Fox News that the 'CO2 scare is a red herring,' that the 'global warming scare is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision-making.'"
Some might suggest that this is a feature and not a bug in the nomination of Harrison Schmitt to oversee New Mexico's energy and natural resources. It suggests that he is fully aware of the true underpinnings of the global warming hysteria.
