So much for the "outsider not beholden to politics" argument eh? This is the GOP playbook of forcing anti-science partisans into important roles and gutting environmental regulations to please industry.
Also so much for the Trump supporter excuses of "Oh, he didn't really mean that, he just said that to get elected -- wink, wink, nudge, nudge," nonsense. Clearly climate change skepticism has become a mainstream view in the US government after nearly two decades of fighting these skeptics. Its incredible how much progress was lost last night.
- helthanatos 10y agoMaybe it's because climate change is caused by something other than our cars.
- thatcat 10y agoLike what? All the farts of relief by trump supporters accumulating in a thick boundary layer of smug?
- c0nducktr 10y agoFunny how many people in tech think because they're good with computers they're somehow smarter than climate scientists.
- CamperBob2 10y agoNo, it's just that no one understands the failings of computer models better than we do.
- peterashford 10y agoWhat are your climate science credentials?
- darpa_escapee 10y agoHas an opinion and works with computers.
- gopetergo 10y agoYou can fact check this in 5 seconds, but it looks like the average sceptic is not even able to achieve that simple task. https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emis...
- ocschwar 10y agoMaybe you should offer more than a tantalizing hint for why we should discount 150 years of scientific work establishing that it is, in fact, caused by our cars.
- fl0wenol 10y agoYou're right! It's also caused by, but to a significantly lesser extent, raising cattle. (Deforestation and methane release)
- notacoward 10y agoRemember Cheney and the secret energy meetings? Same story all over again. Probably some of the same people. Certainly some of the same companies.
