In March 2019, in discussing a "show vote"—engineered as a political trap for Democrats—on his own version of the Green New Deal, McConnell told reporters he believed in human-caused climate change. "I do," the six-term Kentucky senator said. "The question is how do you address it? The way to do this consistent with American values and American capitalism is through technology and innovation. And there is no question that is the way to get results, not to shut down your economy, throw people out of work, make people reconstruct their homes, get out of their cars ... this is nonsense."
Carbon Capture and Energy Efficiency

McConnell tends to play defense on climate change. He has not put forward his own climate plan, nor have Republicans in the Senate under his leadership. After the House of Representatives passed cap-and-trade legislation in 2009, McConnell referred to the bill as the national energy tax, and said he was glad to see its demise in the Senate, which did not even put it up for a vote.

Now McConnell is touting his support for carbon capture and storage—a technology embraced by many Republicans as a way to keep burning coal in a carbon-constrained world—and for budgets that include energy efficiency. He favors, he says, "common sense and actually attainable solutions to protect our environment."

The League of Conservation Voters gives McConnell a 14 percent 2019 score and a 7 percent lifetime score for his votes on environmental legislation.
