In a 2016 interview with Aerospace America, he said that the climate “has always changed,” though remained open to “studying it.”
On Twitter, Columbia University environmental law professor Michael Gerrard called Bridenstine a “climate denier,” likening him to a fellow Oklahoman, EPA administrator Scott Pruitt.

Researcher Kelvin Droegemeier of the University of Oklahoma at Norman, who worked with Bridenstine on a bill related to studying the weather, said that the congressman acknowledges that climate change is real. “He absolutely believes the planet is warming, that [carbon dioxide] is a greenhouse gas, and that it contributes to warming,” Droegemeier told Science magazine."
