NASA and the nation's leading scientific organizations say we are causing climate change. In addition to the country's top scientific institutions, the U.S. military, leading companies in the oil industry (such as Shell and British Petroleum), physicist Stephen Hawking, and pretty much all credible scientists say pollution is causing the planet to get warmer. In addition, hundreds of other countries on this planet have reached the same conclusions about climate change. Despite the already observable effects of climate change and the overwhelming consensus among credible organizations that say climate change already happening, a shockingly large portion of the population believes climate change is a 'hoax' or a 'liberal conspiracy'. Much of this ignorance is propagated by organizations with ties to fossil fuels, and it is unacceptable that some leaders in Congress are facilitating this spread of misinformation for political reasons.

Mr. Carney understands that climate change is an issue for Delaware and advocates for progress on climate change. Democrats running include Sean Barney, who supports climate change efforts in congress and Bryan Townsend who lists fighting climate change as an issue within his campaign. Mike Miller and Lisa Blunt Rochester are also running as Democrats, although we could not find a definitive statement on their exact positions on the subject.
