Dumb Ron Johnson, the King of Pollution.

I know, it’s an amazing position to take no matter how you feel about green energy.

But that’s our Dumb Ron Johnson:

Politifact: A national environmental group, the League of Environmental Voters hit him with an attack ad. (Dumb Ron Johnson) responded by using the TV spot to solicit political contributions.

Johnson's breathtaking position is not only sheer lunacy, but is coming from a guy who lives in the vacation wonderland of lakes, forests, rivers and wild life. Wisconsin should be embarrassed:

1. EPA regulations, April 6, 2011:  Johnson voted for a failed amendment to an

unrelated small-business bill. The amendment would have prohibited the EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions and repealed the agency’s scientific finding that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are endangering human health and the environment. So, under Johnson’s vote, the EPA couldn’t regulate any carbon emissions, including those emitted in the extraction and refining of oil, or by gasoline-burning vehicles.

2. Global warming, March 22, 2013:  Johnson voted for a failed amendment to the 2014 federal budget bill. The amendment would have prohibited "further greenhouse gas regulations for the purposes of addressing climate change," which includes global warming. Like the earlier vote, Johnson supported the status quo: no federal limits on emissions of carbon dioxide, or carbon pollution, whether by oil and gas companies or other energy producers.

3. Carbon emissions, March 22, 2013: Johnson voted for another amendment to the budget to require a vote of 60 senators in order to enact a new federal tax or fee on carbon emissions. The amendment passed.

Chip Knappenberger, of the Center for the Study of Science at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, told us that as a practical matter, the only way to reduce carbon pollution is to reduce the amount of fossil fuel produced. But he said Johnson's votes do preserve the status quo, which has no limits on greenhouse gas emissions.

Our rating: The League of Conservation Voters said Johnson voted to let oil and gas companies "keep spewing unlimited carbon pollution into our air." Johnson voted twice to prohibit the EPA from regulating any carbon emissions. We rate the statement True.
