Noem has dismissed the idea that people are causing temperatures to rise. When asked about climate change, she stated, 'I think the science has been varied on it, and it hasn't been proven to me that what we're doing is affecting the climate.' Her stance reflects skepticism about the consensus on climate science and emphasizes her belief in the lack of definitive proof linking human actions to climate change.
Noem's refusal to accept substantial federal funding designed to promote energy efficiency and combat climate pollution has raised concerns. Among the governors, she stood out as the only one who opted out of a $4 billion initiative that included a significant $69 million for South Dakota. Critics argue this decision means missing out on essential savings for residents, emphasizing the potential benefits for individuals in terms of reduced heating and cooling costs.
