TRUTH SOCIAL REPLACES CO2 AS CLIMATE CONTROL KNOB


ROBERT TRACINSKI 
The big bright spot of the Trump administration is the hatchet he’s taking to the Environmental Protection Agency: doing things like packing the agency with global warming skeptics...

The man charge of this is new EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt... In a CNBC interview, the host asked, “Do you believe that it’s been proven that CO2 is the primary control knob for climate?” Pruitt answered:

 “No, I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do, and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact. 

So no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see. But we don’t know that yet. We need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis.”

This was met with howls of outrage and derision...

NPR, for example, accused Pruitt of questioning “basic facts about climate change

"The view that CO2 is a major heat-trapping gas is supported by reams of data, including data collected by government agencies such as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.” 

Er, which data would that be? "

Obedient to The Federalist's reasonable demand, NASA and NOAA have SINCE reduced their reams of CO2 data to this vividly animated global map of where man-made CO2 comes from, and whence it goes day to day over the course of a year--

It's viral material, but  I somehow doubt you will be seeing much of it on Fox TV, Newsmax, Truth Social or Tuck Carlson's twitter account
