Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman voted against the bill, although he says he disagrees with those who call climate change a hoax. “But you also have some people, I think, that have taken this to a level of hyperbole where they treat it almost as a religion or something to maybe utilize as a cudgel that things are going to end, ‘Oh my goodness it’s the end of the world.’ That is ridiculous. I think we need to look at this in a very common-sense way.”
