Over 97% of scientists agree that human activity is to blame for the steady warming, and without regulation to curb emissions, the Earth could face disastrous conditions.

Standing in the way of securing such regulation are more than 100 current members of Congress, who have expressed skepticism about climate science, or concerns about the cost of more regulations. All but one are Republican.

As congressional lawmakers prepare a bundle of new proposed regulations in the form of the Green New Deal, some long-held opinions among their colleagues could challenge their progress.

In the past, dozens of Republican lawmakers have expressed doubts about the scientific reasoning behind passing legislation to mitigate the effects of climate change through votes, tweets, and even comments about the Obama administration's regulations.

Here are the members of Congress who have questioned human-caused climate change and their Congressional voting score out of 100% for environmentally friendly votes, courtesy of the environmental group League of Conservation Voters.

1. The most important issue of our times

We have to implement the Green New Deal as soon as our candidate takes office. At least my rep wasn't on the list.

2. My brother told me that he doesn't believe in climate change.

I told him that it's an observation, not an opinion. In some ways it doesn't matter what the cause is if we know that reducing atmospheric CO2 levels will help.

3. very good point

beyond arguing about the causes, something can and should be be done NOW!

4. The voters are the real problem. If there were consequences for their climate denial

these people would no longer be in Congress. We have to hold them accountable. All of these neanderthal elected represenatives and senators are mirroring what the voters in their district think. If "we the people" don't care if we trash the planet then don't expect things to change anytime soon.

I honestly cannot understand the GOP or Conservative mindset. I find it totally bizarre.

5. K&R

A lot of these states are going to bear the brunt of ignoring it.
