Gingrich said the legislation was “wrong” for the U.S. economy and national security.

Gingrich, who has appeared in a commercial with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, on narrowing the political divide over climate change, called the emission- reduction target in the bill “a fantasy.”

The former speaker said Gore made some “startling” and “misleading” assertions about the effects of climate change.

“There is a sufficient debate over facts that would be very useful to have,” Gingrich said. “There is no evidence that we need to rush to a massive energy tax.”
