Not all climate deniers are pedophiles, but I bet most pedophiles are climate deniers.
just sayin’.
The newly released documents show that in late 2016 and early 2017, after Donald Trump was elected to his first term, Epstein exchanged emails with celebrity physicist Lawrence Krauss, who at the time was the director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University. Epstein was a major donor to the Origins Project.
In the emails, which contain numerous typos and grammatical errors, Epstein pressed Krauss – who himself left Arizona State University in 2019 amid allegations of sexual misconduct – about several common claims by climate deniers. In each exchange, Krauss politely pushed back.
“i liked the argument that more co2 is good for plants?” Epstein wrote.
“yes, freeman dyson says that too,” Krauss replied, referring to a prominent climate denier. “He has cherry picked data, the typical act of those who believe the answer before they ask the question.”
In his next email, Epstein raised another myth: “is the south pole getting colder and more ice?” He added, “I m here with the trump peopl in palm and when asked i say i dont have any idea if this global warming is a threat that can be reduced.”
“I was in antarctica,” Krauss wrote. “The west antarctic ice sheet is melting at an unprecedented rate.”
A few months later, Krauss wrote to Epstein with a reaction to the Trump administration’s authorization of funding for NASA.
“This is not supporting science,” Krauss said. “It is all about the size of the rocket for him. All this will do is give him glory and not contribute to science.”
“you told me you were worried about space and i told you not to worry, he will decimate climate change. and support, verifiable projects,” Epstein replied.
Reached for comment by Yale Climate Connections, Krauss said he hoped he’d had an impact on Epstein’s perspective.
“I like to think I dispelled some myths, and provided him data to help do so,” Krauss wrote by email.
Get some coffee, the video below is 20 minutes long, but does a good job of calling out the many mentions of Vladimir Putin, Russian oligarchs and their connections with Jeffrey Epstein that have come to light.
We are pulling on the threads of something massive, twisted and toxic.
“Krauss – who himself left Arizona State University in 2019 amid allegations of sexual misconduct….
It’s sad that public morality standards have dropped so far that I feel I have to bring this up: Krauss was “merely” ostracized for creeping on women, with no suggestion that he went for trafficked minors.
Me making this distinction is reminiscent of the time when the corrupt but basically humane Governor Edwards was being challenged by Klansmen David Duke for Governorship of Louisiana. The noteworthy bumper sticker back then:
Vote for the Crook. It’s Important
