Matt Bevin, a Louisville businessman and former U.S. Senate candidate, said there had been a lot of "fluff and theory that has been perpetrated as science to create the perception that somehow this global warming has been entirely man-made."
"I disagree with it," Bevin said. "I don't find scientific corroboration for it. I have found scientists that I believe to be as credible or more so than those that are calling for this who would say quite the opposite."
Bevin said he guessed that Storm and the television audience would agree that "at one point in time, the Earth was largely covered by ice."
"I think that most people that studied history and science would tell you that indeed it was," Bevin said. "And if in fact the world was once largely covered by ice and if in fact it is now largely not covered by ice, it would seem obvious to me that this didn't happen because it's been getting colder."

James Comer, the commissioner of agriculture, was less circumspect, stating flatly at the beginning of his answer: "I do not believe in global warming."
"Weather is cyclical. I think we would all agree with that."
"I'm the one person whose business and livelihood depends on Mother Nature, so I understand weather patterns," Comer said. "We've had a very severe winter this year with 12-inch snows, so there is no global warming."

An absolute embarrassment.
