Trump White House recruited climate science critics to work at NOAA

By Scott Waldman, E&E NewsSep. 28, 2020 , 2:00 PM

A documentary that was released last week and features Legates provides a window into the scientific priorities he might bring to NOAA.

The film Climate Hustle 2  connected to CFACT, the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow...

It cycles through a familiar miasma of debunked and cherry-picked scientific claims that paint the relatively small number of researchers who doubt the extent of human-caused climate change as Galileo-like figures...

The movie is introduced by “Mini AOC,” a girl dressed to resemble Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

“Like, I hope you learned a lot about climate change in this movie; I know I did. Like, I used to not believe in climate change either. Like, I thought it meant Mother Nature was transgendering into Father Nature,” 

[Former Delaware political appointee David] Legates features prominently in the film, which compares those who want more aggressive climate policy to the authoritarian government of George Orwell’s “1984”... The film also features Legates’ co-author ...Willie Soon, who claims the sun is fueling global warming.

Soon says he cried after The New York Times exposed that his research was secretly funded by energy companies and suggests that climate activists should be jailed...

Cutting down on carbon emissions would mean that developed nations “would head toward the undeveloped world, and we would bring everybody down to the lowest common denominator,” Legates says in the film. He says teaching young people about human-caused global warming is indoctrinating them into believing a “lie.”
