White House moves to fight climate ‘denialism’ amid calls to end fossil-fuel crackdown

The White House held a brainstorming session on how to combat climate “denialism and delay” even as the Russian invasion of Ukraine fueled pressure on President Biden to end his crackdown on domestic oil-and-gas production.

The White House released Friday a readout from the previous day’s first-ever roundtable discussion held by the Office of Science and Technology Policy [OSTP] on “the scientific understanding of why arguments for delaying action on climate change are appealing and how they can be countered effectively.”

“It’s clear that a variety of special interests have had a vested interest in sowing doubt on climate change and feeding denialism and delay,” said White House senior adviser Neera Tanden in a statement. “We need to confront that reality.”

The two-hour virtual session illustrated the disconnect between the White House’s determination to push its climate agenda and rising GOP calls for Mr. Biden to lift restrictions on U.S. fossil-fuel development blamed for strengthening the hand of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“America must reclaim our energy independence to deter Vladimir Putin!” tweeted Sen. Bill Hagerty, Tennessee Republican. “President Biden must end his war on American energy NOW!”

‘Denialism’ and soon ‘denialists’; new words to further divide Americans.

“Say, you’re not a ‘denialist’ are you? We don’t take to your kind around here!” “Not willing to give up your car and take public transportation? You’re not some kind of climate denialist, are you?

We’ve had a fake election, a fake pandemic and now even more fake climate “crisis”.

By this time, Hegel must be centrifuging in his grave.

See, if the drilling and production is done in Russia and the Middle East and if the coal power plants are in China and India, there are no emissions. There are only emissions if those things are done in America. That’s “science” I tell ya.

No the political left and special interests have a vested interest in brainwashing the public and having legislation passed that will enrich and empower them
