Draft summary for the individual at Wikipedia
On April 6, 2011, Marco Rubio voted to limit the EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. (1) In 2013, he voted for a concurrent resolution creating a point of order which would make it harder for Congress to put a price on carbon. (2, 3) In a series of roll call votes attached to debate about the Keystone on January 21, 2015 (4), he voted against Amendment 87 by Sen. Hoeven that climate change is real and human activity contributes to climate change (5), and against Amendment 58 by Sen. Schatz, that human activity "significantly" contributes to climate change. (6) On March 10, 2016 during a debate, when asked about the scientific consensus on climate change he said “Well, sure if the climate is changing and one of the reasons is because the climate has always been changing. There's never been a time when the climate has not changed. I think the fundamental question for a policy maker is, is the climate changing because of something we are doing and if so, is there a law you can pass to fix it?” (7)

1. What are the individual's views on whether climate change is real and caused by human activity?
In a series of roll call votes attached to debate about the Keystone XL pipeline on January 21, 2015, he voted against Amendment 87 by Sen. Hoeven that climate change is real and human activity contributes to climate change (http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=1&vote=00011), and against Amendment 58 by Sen. Schatz, that human activity "significantly" contributes to climate change (http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=1&vote=00012). On March 10, 2016 during a debate, when asked about the scientific consensus on climate change he said “Well, sure if the climate is changing and one of the reasons is because the climate has always been changing.

2. What votes, actions, and governmental/organizational activities on climate change and clean energy has the individual led/supported/opposed?
On April 6, 2011, he voted to limit the EPA’s ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=1&vote=00054 On March 22, 2013 he voted to make it harder for Congress to put a price on carbon through a point of order opposing a carbon tax or a fee on carbon emissions. (The vote did not pass by 2/3.) http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00059
During a March 10, 2016 Republican Presidential candidates debate, when asked about climate change and sea level rise, he said “on the issue of flooding in Miami, it's caused by two things. Number one, south Florida is largely built on land that was once a swamp. And number two, because if there is higher sea levels or whatever it may be happening, we do need to deal with that through mitigation” (http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/10/politics/republican-debate-transcript-full-text/).
