White House moves to fight climate ‘denialism’ amid calls to end fossil-fuel crackdown
The Washington Times ^ | February 26, 2022 | By Valerie Richardson

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!”

It's patently clear that the special interests in government and those who advocate government control of everything in the holy name of Climate are sowing doubt, lies and misinformation and WE need to confront THAT reality.

The fact that these Eco-Weirdos actually endorse(d) carbon credits as a climate control mechanism where a so-called backward country like Cambodia could sell it's 'excess carbon credits' to a developed country so they could pollute more is absurdly ludicrous - an autocratic fantasy. All it accomplishes is making people like Al Gore filthy rich.

The regime is not “myopic”.
It is simply following orders from the true “evil empire”—Communist China!

Denialism?

Is there any word they won’t add -ist or -ism to to make it a bad thing?

The WAR against American Citizens continues unabated. They are worried that we are telling these crooks NO.

There is a part of me that thinks Joe and the MIC want a quick and dirty nuclear exchange, where Joe comes out a winner and we only lost 80 million people and the nuclear winter offsets climate change. Problem solved.

Yes, there is a certain parallel between the intended results of the climate change scheme and the results from the WuFlu lockdowns, masks and vax campaigns. Unfortunately the majority of the general populace appears to be asleep and falling for it.

All of this crap has NO feasible compromise..

You either go along with what they dictate, or you need to be wiped out.

It’s getting to be the same with EVERY issue our politicians are raising anymore.

Be it the vax or climate change or whatever.. you COMPLY or you are a traitor and terrorist and therefore “dangerous”.

We ARE heading for a society just like what we saw in the Twilight Zone episode - “The Obsolete Man”.

We CANNOT VOTE OUR WAY OUT OF THIS, folks..

Just when you think this administration could not become any more clueless they prove you wrong.

Maybe WH should consider effect of Nuclear War on climate.

You made an excellent point there. But, then again, you must have a brain to make such thoughts pass through it. I don't think Uncle Joe Stalin-Biden has such a brain to make such thoughts.
