New Mexico lawmakers recently asked constituents, “Do you think the current climate changes are man made?”

Here's what Clovis' Carolyn Spence has to say:

“The Earth has undergone some drastic climate changes in history and the causes were not manmade. We need to be careful that our best intentions don’t backfire on us.

"The Earth is capable of healing much that we do to it, but we also need to be careful not to do too much. The most recent studies show that the burning of bio-fuels actually contributes more to global warming than fossil fuels, for example.

"We need to take it very slowly and with prayer. It takes more wisdom than we have by ourselves to make this whole thing work correctly.”
