NextImg:CNN Whines That Trump's Energy Secretary Is Reviewing and Possibly Correcting Previous Absurd Claims About "Global Warming"

A long time ago, a commenter or coblogger -- Dave in Texas? The Warden? Empire of Jeff? -- mused:

There must be some unknown force causing our planet to become warmer.

This hypothetical unknown force would have to be large, however -- on an order of magnitude equal to our own Sun.

The Babylon Bee echoes this 20 year old joke:

The Science (TM) is perfect and infallible. No one may question that which The Science (TM) has decreed.


(CNN) -- Energy Sec. Chris Wright said Tuesday night the Trump administration is updating the National Climate Assessments that have been previously published, which the administration recently removed from government websites.

"We're reviewing them, and we will come out with updated reports on those and with comments on those reports," Wright told CNN's Kaitlan Collins in an interview on "The Source."

Wright dismissed the past reports, saying "they weren't fair in broad-based assessments of climate change."

"When you get into departments and look at stuff that's there and you find stuff that's objectionable, you want to fix it," he said.

Energy spokesperson Andrea Woods said, "The National Climate Reports are published by NOAA, not DOE. He was not suggesting he personally would be altering past reports."

The interagency process and publication is overseen by the US Global Change Research Program, which was established by Congress.

...

The first Trump administration signed off on and released the Fourth US National Climate Assessment in 2018, although it attempted to bury the report's news by releasing it on Black Friday. The current administration has deleted all previous reports from government websites, fired the scientists working on the next iteration of the report, and recently issued a separate report compiled by five researchers that questioned the severity of climate change.

Altering or revising previously published assessments would be a significant escalation in the administration's attempts to wipe credible climate science off the record.

Eat dirt. We're not playing games with your remorseless communists any longer.

EPA head Lee Zeldin tried to explain the actual science to CNN's bubble-headed wine aunt Kasie Hunt but she didn't want to hear it.

He gives a clue to what's going on with revising previous "global warming" claims -- none of these dire predictions came to pass. Shall we let those false prophecies of doom stand forever, like religious writs, or should we look at the bad assumptions that caused them to miss the mark?

Lee Zeldin left a CNN host staring blankly for nearly two minutes on Monday as he took her apart regarding a recent proposal at the EPA. As the interview started, host Kasie Hunt dumped an attempted gotcha question on the EPA administrator, asking him if he accepts the "overwhelming scientific consensus" that greenhouse gas emissions drive "man-made climate change." That was in the context of a recent announcement that the Trump administration will revoke a 2009 endangerment finding that led to the implementation of stringent regulations.

Zeldin clearly came prepared, because he peppered Hunt with facts, and for once, a CNN host couldn't come up with a reason to interrupt a Republican.


HUNT: Do you accept the overwhelming scientific consensus that these greenhouse gas emissions are the biggest drivers of man-made climate change?

ZELDIN: Well, it's great to be on with you. First, it's worth pointing out that all eight or so images that you just posted on the screen have nothing to do with this week's announcement. What the 2009 endangerment finding had to do with was with regards to mobile sources, vehicles. This week's proposal to rescind the 2009 endangerment finding was with regards to mobile sources, vehicles. CNN has been using a lot of photos where they show smoke stacks of stationary sources like power plants. That's not what we proposed.

Now, going back to 2009, the science that they were reviewing included both optimistic to pessimistic scenarios. To reach the 2009 endangerment finding, they relied on the most pessimistic views of the science. The great news is that a lot of the pessimistic views of the science in 2009 that was being assumed ended up not panning out. Hey, that's great, we can rely on 2025 facts as opposed to 2009 bad assumptions.

Whenever you speak to any left-winger (as all CNN hosts are) about this topic, you have to understand that climate change is a religious deity to them. It doesn't matter how many decades we've gone without the worst-case predictions coming true. Climate change is a position of faith for these people, and that means they shift the data to meet their preconceived outcome. If new data arises showing climate change isn't the level of threat they claimed it to be, and thus policies should be changed, they brush that off as "denialism."

Speaking of previous climate alarmist prophecies of doom not panning out: 43 years ago, Dan Rather confidently proclaimed that 25% of Florida would be under water by now.
