Warmist Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt: "You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar"

"The math says there's a couple billion people who want our carbon footprint," Schmidt said, laying out the problem. "And we can't afford that carbon footprint as a global thing." But the real issue, he said, is "the fact problem," a dearth of information that allows people to ignore climate change. "The media gets confused because they don't believe in facts, and public policy people get confused because they don't believe in innovation." But the real-world effects of climate change can't be ignored forever. "The thirst for information is ultimately the solution to the problems we talk about here," he said. "You can hold back knowledge, you cannot prevent it from spreading. You can lie about the effects of climate change, but eventually you'll be seen as a liar."
