In a recent blog entry, Nielsen-Gammon even mildly tweaks the Heartland Institute, a group that disputes the notion of global warming, though he has criticized An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's film about climate change. Texans, he said, do occasionally ask him questions like: "You don't believe in all this global warming nonsense, do you?" For the record, he says he doesn't believe in "all the nonsense." Nonetheless, temperatures are rising globally and greenhouse gases are the biggest driver of the trend, he says, and "if things keep going like this there will be serious consequences."
