Minnesota State Senator Tom Neuville

I belive that there has been some Global Warming over the past 15 years. The question is whether it is man-induced, or just a product of natural temperature cycles which occur due to circumstances beyond our control (such as sun flairs).

The Minnesota Senate will be discussing the issue of Global Warming this session. So, I am soliciting information from my constituents right now.

I have read studies which suggest that there has been a leveling of mean global temperature since 1998. Some scientists are now projecting global temperature decline within the next 3-5 years.

I have a healthy skepticism about the claim that humans are responsible for the warming of planet earth.

Here is a Post from the Powerline Website, reminding us of the prediction for global cooling back in the 1970’s.

I believe that some of the proposed solutions would have devasting consequences on our culture and economy.

I will be posting my research and links to studies and articles on this topic during the next 3-4 weeks. I am interested in reviewing research articles or studies (but not political commentary) which prove that global warming is caused by man.

On February 14, I have been appointed to the Legislative Audit Commission, the Legislative Commission on Planning and Fiscal Policy and the Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct.

I am excited to begin work on these committees. These appointments will allow me to better serve my constituents and the State of Minnesota. I look forward to the good work we will be able to accomplish and as always I request comments and input from my constituents on the important matters I will be working on at the Capitol.

The Legislative Audit Commission is a bipartisan, bicameral commission, consisting of six members from both the House and Senate, each equally represented by both the majority and minority caucuses. The commission selects topics for the Legislative Auditor to review, and periodically holds hearings to review the reports from the Auditor.

The Legislative Commission on Planning and Fiscal Policy is also equally divided between members of the House and Senate, and provides the Legislature with in-depth analysis of projected state revenues and tax expenditures.

The Senate Subcommittee on Ethical Conduct is a bipartisan committee consisting of four members of the Senate who review the ethical conduct within the Senate.
