Um, didn’t something like 50,000 just take long, fossil fueled trips to Brazil for a climate conference? Couldn’t they have done this while there?
Experts work on UN climate report amid US pushback
Some 600 experts began to work Monday on the next major UN climate report, as the international consensus on global warming is challenged by US President Donald Trump, who deems the science a “hoax”.French Ecological Transition Minister Monique Barbut, whose country is hosting the five-day meeting in a Paris suburb, told the scientists their “extremely precious” work is crucial as multilateralism has weakened.
“There is also something that should concern us all: The rise of climate-related disinformation on our social media, in our newspapers and even at the heart of our policy political institutions,” Barbut said.
“Too many people deny the results of your work,” she told the experts from more than 100 countries gathered in a skyscraper in Saint-Denis for the opening of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meeting.
Their work faces hurdles in the face of a US administration whose president called climate change the “greatest con job ever” and a “hoax” during a speech at the United Nations in September.
I love how they make it all about Donald Trump, rather than “some 600 experts” taking fossil fueled taxpayer funder trips to the wonderful vacation spot of Paris.
The IPCC operates by consensus.
So, not science, eh?
Nope, not science.
Not science.
