Do I need to reiterate once again that these same Democrats use vast amounts of fossil fuels in their own lives? Desmog Blog, a hotbed of unhinged Warmism, brings us the story
Democratic U.S. Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), Ed Markey (MA) and Brian Schatz (HI) introduced an amendment into the energy bill yesterday intended to express Congress’s disapproval of the use of industry-funded think tanks and misinformation tactics aimed at sowing doubt about climate change science.
The amendment evokes the history of notorious anti-science efforts by the tobacco and lead industries to avoid accountability for the damage caused by their products, focusing similar ire on the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long climate cover-up.
Although it doesn’t name specific companies, the amendment is surely inspired by recent revelations about ExxonMobil’s early and advanced knowledge of the role of fossil fuels in driving climate change — which was followed by the company’s subsequent, unconscionable climate science denial efforts.
Or, it could be that Exxon, along with other fossil fuels companies, did further research which came to the conclusion that it was wrong. What Whitehouse, Markey, et all are upset about is that anyone else dares to have a separete conclusion, and they are very upset that anyone would dare diverge from the Cult of Climastrology’s pseudo-scientific prognostications, computer models, and dogma. While not naming names, they take shots at organizations and individuals, using the tired old trope about them being funded. Heck, I’d love some of that fossil fuels money.
Of course, this will go absolutely nowhere. I’d love to see any Republican in the Senate ask these Democrats for the Senate record on the Senate floor if they have given up use of fossil fuels in their own lives, and if they have divested all their own holding from fossil fuels companies.
Oh, and then you have David Suzuki wanting to jail Canadian Stephen Harper, who served as Prime Minister till November 2015, for daring to block action on Hotcoldwetdry. Warmists are not very tolerant when people block their Cult.
