> Schwartzenegger was basically the only GOP politician that was a vocal environmentalist while he was in office, and it wasn't just to appease the California voting base, he probably limited his political career by advocating strongly for global warming policies.
Randy Hunt (R), who was believed to be who would have taken Senator Warren's (D) Senate seat if she was VP, was also quite the environmentalist.
When I watched him debate a democratic contender for his seat in the MA house of reps, he was much more knowledgeable about how to combat climate change. The democrat just wanted to throw solar panels everywhere, but Hunt was working with MIT to develop storage technologies for renewable energy.
