Nailed it.

Senate Democrats were left red-faced at a hearing on climate change as their 'expert witness' proved to be anything but when faced by veteran senator John Kennedy.
Budget Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse invited Olympic skier Gus Schumacher to give his perspective as the committee considered the impact of climate change on the recreation industry.
But it was all downhill for the 23-year-old as he struggled to answer basic questions and could not remember his tweets claiming the war on drugs was designed to jail black people, and calling for the police to be abolished.
The excruciating exchange continued with Schumacher insisting carbon dioxide is a 'huge part of our atmosphere', before Kennedy pointed out that it accounts for 0.04 percent.
'Well, okay. But, yeah. I don't know,' the skier admitted.
Introducing the hearing, Senator Whitehouse praised the quality of the 'highly credible witnesses' the committee had heard from.
'We have heard warnings from economists, scientists, medical professionals, insurance and investment executives, even a former Republican Senate Majority Leader. They warn of danger ahead.'
But there was danger ahead for Schumacher as he tried to fend off Kennedy's interrogation which began with a question about what carbon dioxide is.
'I went to high school, but carbon dioxide is a gas,' the skier told him
'I'm not a professional to talk about carbon dioxide so much.'
But Kennedy demanded an explanation about the gas's role in climate change.
'Carbon dioxide is, what I see it as, you know, a gas that exists in our atmosphere,' Schumacher explained.
'Is it a major part of our atmosphere?' Kennedy asked innocently.
'It's a huge part of our atmosphere,' the skier insisted.
'It's a very small part of our atmosphere,' the Senator pointed out.
'Well, okay. But, yeah. I don't know. What are you asking specifically?'...

Global Warming was invented by Al Gore who was a divinity major and got a C- in basic science.
A tip of the hat to Kennedy’s staff. They always have him prepared.
You are giving manbearpig a lot of credit... he got his climate agenda from the wef or others like them...
Airhead athlete alert.

—————————————
Al Gore is as much the father of global warming as he is of the internet.
Global warming was first global cooling and changed when the “DATA” didn’t fit the narrative.
Al Gore is nothing but a grifter who found his best honey pot in the church of Global Warning.
The climate has, is, and will always change. Attempts by man to control the climate are comically stupid.
Man must adjust what he does to the climate.
CO2 is plant food. Heat and water leads to the greatest number and diversity of animal and plant life.
These people are Communists and Atheists.
Typical Starbucks gulping, uninformed, hysterical, liberal ass wipe.
Probably did better than the map reader.
Nailed it.
True, you don't know! Are you dating Greta Thunberg or her brother?
Olympic skier Gus Schumacher should be called as an expert on Skiing, not Globull💩 Warming!
The moron skier went to HS. That’s the level of scientific knowledge being taught at our high schools. No wonder population can be convinced of anything by pretty much anybody…
This should have brought in a real expert like Greta thunberg. Or maybe Bill Nye the science guy. 🤣
LOL The article referenced Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I was thinking Ted from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure or Pauly Shore’s character fron Encino Man, but Spicoli is good, too.
I highly recommend this video to anyone on this thread who cares about this issue.

All I need is some cool waves and a tasty buzz and I’m fine
By Al Gore and a bunch of Penguins...
Snowboarder dude was a genius compared to whoever thought it was a good idea to have him testify.
True dat.
Many people don't even accept the fact that we live in a closed system that neither gains nor looses water, that the earth is revolving at about 1,000 mph at the equator, and that humans live much better {and longer} in warm rather than cold temps.
Recorded history has shown the devastation that results in extremely cold temps {Little Ice Age from about 1300 - 1800} where millions died from starvation caused by the cold temps preventing the growth of food supplies.
But now we are living in a normal warming cycle and I've only had to use my snow blower a few times this season as compared to daily during very cold snowy winters {it's better this way}.
Can jet-setting ski racers be climate activists? Schumacher, Diggins lean into “imperfect advocacy.”
