Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) continues to deny the realities of climate change, rather blaming “radical” environmentalist groups and Democrats for contributing to the severe drought conditions that have plagued much of western Colorado by impeding action through legal challenges.

“Democrats like to pretend that climate change is to blame for everything, and yes, the climate is changing – four times a year, in fact,” Boebert said during a House subcommittee hearing on Wednesday. “But these same alarmists fail to take active measures that can address the changing climate.”

The hearing, which was held virtually, focused on the historic drought conditions in the Colorado River basin and the need for mitigation measures. But the controversial Colorado congresswoman used most of her allocated time to attack her political opponents.
