Rob Cornilles has joined the growing list of far-right-wing candidates across the country who doubt, deny, or deride the science of climate change.

Dubbed "climate zombies" by the DailyKos, these out-of-touch Republicans ignore the sound and settled science on climate change to cater to right-wing extremists whose destructive views are dangerous to the health of our planet.

"Rob Cornilles has been paying lip service to the environmental concerns of Oregonians, while privately telling his right-wing friends that he doesn't believe in man-made climate change," says Julia Louise Krahe, Wu for Congress spokesperson. "Not only is he being dishonest with voters, but his dangerous views are clearly at odds with Oregonians' deep commitment to protecting the environment and preserving our natural heritage. We can't afford to send a climate zombie like Rob Cornilles to Congress."

Congressman David Wu knows that we must take action now to address climate change and protect our environment. By helping make Oregon a national leader in clean, renewable energy, he is helping grow our economy and create local high-wage, private-sector jobs. During his time in Congress, David Wu has passed legislation to cut pollution, increase energy efficiency, reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil, and support innovative small businesses that are on the forefront of energy independence.
