If you take Rep. Peterson’s statement literally, which you shouldn’t do, it’ll give you intellectual whiplash. If Speaker Pelosi gave Rep. Peterson “everything I wanted in agriculture”, why does the bill “still needs some more work”?

This is Peterson doublespeak. He initially said that he wouldn’t support the bill because of the damaging effects it would have on farmers. Then it becamse a close vote and Speaker Pelosi required his vote. At that point, they threw a few trivial provisions to him to get him to roll over and play dead. This Peterson did like a good puppies should do.

Climate Research News » Enjoy Outgoing Greenpeace Head’s Interview Struggle

It’s not often that a well informed interviewer asks challenging questions about climate alarmism and energy policy reality, especially on the BBC. All too often the likes of Greenpeace are allowed to make absurd statements on science and policy unchallenged. Enjoy some ‘global squirming’ from the outgoing Executive Director of Greenpeace International, Dr Gerd Leipold, whilst being interviewed on BBC News HARDtalk by a clued up Stephen Sackur. Possibly my favourite part was where Leipold was forced to admit that Greenland’s ice wouldn’t melt by 2030, depite a Greenpeace PR claiming that it could. His “I don’t read all the PRs” line had me rolling with laughter. Of course, CRN knows that it would take millennia to melt Greenland, even if warming continues. As expected, Leipold attacked lifestyle, economic growth and energy use, which is what climate alarmism is really a shield for.
