Get Coffee for this one. Climate wonk nirvana.
Last week at an event at the University of Texas, 3 leading climate deniers faced off against a single scientist.
The Deniers were authors of the Department of Energy’s Climate Working Group – a “Red Team” re-hash of settled climate science, designed to re-reinforce doubts and denial among the Republican faithful, and serve as a basis for revoking the “Endangerment Finding”, a principle on which US Government regulations of greenhouse gases is based.
Scientist Andy Dessler absolutely mopped the floor with Climate Denial’s leading lights, and added (hilariously) several insults to the injury.
Ironically, the DOE “Working Group” document turned out, on examination, bot be so flawed and embarrassing that it was dropped from the repeal of the Endangerment Finding.
If your climate denial is too embarrassing even for grifting DOE Secretary Chris Wright, and fake EPA head Lee Zeldin, that in itself is quite a statement.
Below, former National Security Advisor in the First Trump admin, HR MacMaster references Stephen Koonin and the “Red Team” account, apparently buying the burying of climate science.
Accurate take from Gavin Newsom – the axing of climate regulations is a death sentence for the American Auto industry.
