McConnell has raised doubts about climate change science before, but never so directly. McConnell’s quotes on the issue were tweeted by an Enquirer reporter in the meeting. 

@Enquirer: Climate change – ‘pick your period’ and data will support your ‘bias.’

@Enquirer: ‘For everyone who thinks it’s warming I can find someone who says it isn’t.’ Cites winter. ‘I don’t buy it.’
