One more time I ask Senator Jim Carlin who is running for Senator Grassley’s seat, do you believe in Climate Change? If you had Grassley seat US Senate seat and you would’ve been asked to vote for the infrastructure bill, would you? Grassley has said that he believes in Climate change so the fact that he voted for the bill is likely for that reason. That is why this answer is important.

Jim, do we “need” to change our entire energy infrastructure, all of our vehicles? Do you think the government should be allowed to take private land by eminent domain for projects based on Climate Change? Should they be able to take our money for Climate Change?

This is the third time I have asked you and yet you seem to refuse to answer. Do you desire to be a leader in this land or are you playing politics? The fact that you have ignored this question for so long is appalling. We need leaders who firmly know what they believe, why they believe it and can strongly back up their position.
