Climate change: Does a Republican congressman support Greta Thunberg?

"I know you are trying, but just not hard enough." That's what climate activist Greta Thunberg said to a group of senior American politicians. During a visit to Washington, she is testifying to the House of Representatives and meeting more of the country's decision makers. Among them is Republican Congressman Buddy Carter, who sits on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. He professes to support the activist - yet his voting record would seem to contradict this.
