Isn’t this how the famed “climate consensus” works?
In late July, the Department of Energy and the EPA issued a report by the Climate Working Group which, for once, didn’t parrot the false claims that the world would end unless we all flew on jets to climate warming conferences to discuss how to raise taxes on Americans.
The members of the Climate Working Group were serious people including two former senior NASA scientists who had developed the first satellite-based technique for global temperature monitoring.
Their report was far from a fundamental break with global warming, rather, like a lot of ‘dissidents’ within the industry, it just argued that the greens had…
1. Falsely connected so-called ‘extreme weather’ to human activity
2. Misstated the impact that so-called ‘green policies’ by the government would have on the environment
I don’t think much of the report myself which feels more focused on industrial concerns than dismantling the green hoax, but it’s an improvement over the stuff that the EPA would put out under Biden.
Environmentalist groups reacted the way that the lefty nonprofits integrated with the government do to every Trump action… which is to sue.
How do you sue over a report you don’t like?
The Environmental Defense Fund and the Union of Concerned Scientists claim that the report is bad because the scientists involved are “skeptics of the effects of climate change” and obviously such folks should not be allowed to write environmental reports.
Only true believers may do so.
What this really shows is how the famed “climate change consensus” is really made. It’s easy to create a consensus when you simply screen out everyone who doesn’t agree. And then when an administration comes in that isn’t on board with your agenda, you just sue to keep them out.
That’s not a consensus. That’s a manufactured consensus enabled by gatekeeping and the EDF lawsuit proves the truth of that accusation. When you sue because scientists you don’t like are writing reports, your consensus is as fake as global warming.
