Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R) acknowledged that the climate is changing, but said that there is no legislative proposal currently on the table that would put a stop to it, while speaking Tuesday at the National Press Club.

"Headlines notwithstanding, of course the climate is changing. The climate is always changing and that is a measurable that you can see. There is climate change." Rubio said. "The issue is whether there is legislative proposals before us that can do anything about it, what I have said and what I disagree with is the notion that if we pass cap and trade it will stop this from happening."

Rubio made headlines over the weekend when he told ABC News that the impact of man-made climate change is being overstated.
