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 is funny, but I begin to feel that I am being forced to regress to my childhood by what passes for public discourse, today.

The “denial” shtick, along with “settled science” is a particularly juvenile way of pretending that a debate you never had, is over. It goes along with “yesterday’s news” as translating to the six year old screaming “I don’t want to talk about it. Why won’t you BELIEVE me!”

How about the Democrats’ war on clean, plentiful nuclear power?

Brandon’s shutdown of America’s petroleum contribution is what caused Europe’s capitulation to Putin.

**Maybe WH should consider effect of Nuclear War on climate.***

It would solve the farce of Glo-Bull Warming by giving us a Nuclear Winter, A fear started back in the 1980s.

Just like us non-brain dead anti-jab (not vaccine) people are so-called science deniers.
The left is nothing if not despicable.

NOT the babylonbee. Any objection to any radical left wing extremist narratives will not be tolerated. Regardless of proof or evidence.

DON’T LUMP ALL WOMEN WITH LIBTARDS.

This Conservative woman reads conservative news. Know BS when she hears it. Fossil fuels have run the world since fire was easy to make, whale oil, coal, peat were used. We used coal to heat with at my grandma’s in a
Pot belly stove, and a cast iron stove.

Oh come on.

The prevailing influence on America is women who lack the wherewithal to actually succeed on their own. Getting in a huff is irrelevant if you are not one of the majority of women under the progressive spell

Denialism the belief that wind and solar power is sustainable to keep electricity available.
In Los Angeles the can’t even keep the lights on in the summer months now more electric cars isn’t going to help one bit.

A fool and his money is soon parted.

Sounds like nuclear war is the warmists’ solution to global warming.
