LANSING, MI – A Michigan House hearing grew heated last week as Republicans questioned established climate science and attacked proposed Democratic clean energy legislation using what some climate experts characterized as fear-based arguments rooted in misinformation.
Rep. David Prestin, a Republican from Menominee County in the Upper Peninsula, called climate change a “theory” and warned that Michigan citizens would go without power and “perishables will spoil” under proposed Democratic bills meant to hasten the transition off fossil fuels for energy and reduce power costs for ratepayers, especially lower-income Michiganders.
Prestin accused Democrats of “using the drumbeat of climate” to mandate investment in renewable energy forms he suggested would underfund the distribution grid.
“Energy generation rooted in best available technology and grid stability is what’s necessary, not fairies and pixie dust which is what these bills try to codify into law,” he said. “It’s dangerous. It will cost lives.”
“It’s rooted in theory, not best available technology,” Prestin continued. “For those that can’t afford backup generators, batteries, home solar, it will make their lives much more expensive and much more uncertain.”
Bill sponsors pushed back.
House Speaker Pro Tem Laurie Pohutsky, D-Livonia, said the ice storms earlier this year were a consequence of climate change and that if nothing is done to combat it, things are going to get worse. Rep. Betsy Coffia, D-Traverse City, said addressing climate change and protecting society’s most vulnerable are moral imperatives.

Computer models are not science.
Climate models are designed to try to use historical data to predict future events. With regard to “climate science” they have been proven to be total failures. The “science” shows that climate models do not work.
One of the Russian scientists who testified at the Soviet Chernobyl hearings said it best, translating to: science requires victims.
“ using what some climate experts characterized as fear-based arguments rooted in misinformation.”
That’s exactly what the climate alarmists are doing.
RULE OF THE UNIVERSE: When a DemocRAT, journlist (same thing), or “eddikator” uses the word “science”, it isn’t.

It worse than a “theory”. It is outright fraud. Fraud on a grand scale. The biggest fraud in all recorded history. Fraud, fraud, fraud!

“established climate science“
Ope!… I think I found the problem, right there..
“Deny” and you’re wrong“
Soon - Deny and you’re a CRIMINAL…
I was in high school in the ‘70s & vividly remember the ice age scare. Soon as they realized they couldn’t destroy capitalism by freezing us out they switched to cooking us to death. Cut off the fuel, oil, of capitalism & starve it to death.
Climate “science” is a very flimsy and ill-defined term, having little or no discipline in its “study” and expropriating “facts” from highly imaginative sources.
REAL science is never settled, as this climate “science” seems to be. Any time a set of beliefs cannot be challenged, it is no longer science, but dogma, and threatens the status quo of important factions within positions of authority. But if those factions have the muscle and impudence to assert such authority, then that becomes tyranny, and completely obviates the meaning of representative government.
“Climate models are designed to..”
-come up with the results that the politicians who are paying the scientists can use to further their agenda against the population. (and make themselves incredibly wealthy..)
Editorial propaganda disguised as news.
Climate change is a cult religion and is not science. Anyone who disagrees with the “established science” i.e. dogma is a heretic.
There is no such thing as established climate science. Just like there is no free lunch.
No slant in this article. What a pile of crap! If they lie enough they expect us to believe them.
It has been demonstrated again and again that the earths heating tracks the output of the sun.
I wish these idiots WOULD follow the science for a change.
Guess what? It’s climate. It changes
