The Wisconsin Republican argued with the author of a climate study in the Senate on Wednesday, insisting that global warming was 'pretty good.'
took issue with the findings of a study that Greenstone had recently co-authored, arguing that Americans should"take comfort" in global warming.last year, focused on the economic impacts of climate change causing a projected 85 excess global deaths per 100,000 people every year by 2100.
"In terms of excess deaths, a warming globe's actually beneficial," Johnson said."In my own state, your study shows that we would have a reduction in mortality of somewhere between 54 and 56 people per, I guess, it's 100,000. Why wouldn't we take comfort in that?" Johnson then interrupted Greenstone as he attempted to tell the senator that he was"misreading the results" of his study. Johnson then brought up an unrelated study while arguing that heating the planet put global health"in a better position."
