Scott Wagner is an American businessman and state senator from the state of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the Republican Party. What did he say?
"I haven't been in a science class in a long time, but the earth moves closer to the sun every year-you know the rotation of the earth," Wagner, a York County state senator, said, according to StateImpact Pennsylvania. "We're moving closer to the sun."
He added, according to StateImpact's Katie Meyer, that, "We have more people. You know, humans have warm bodies. So is heat coming off? Things are changing, but I think we are, as a society, doing the best we can."

What kind of politician is this, that doesn't blame the opposition for the crises?
Here, Senator, what about: "The energy expenditure and increased friction from the fapping caused by the degenerate democrat agenda liberaliziong pornography have caused global warming. The link between porn consumption and warming is scientifically a fact. Do not mention warming till you stop such degeneracy!!!".

It's absolutely, accidentally true. You would be giving off more CO2 while cycling than riding in a car. The car would emit much more CO2, but that's not what he said, is it?
