Where Will The Heartland Institute Host Its Climate Denial Conference? At Shitstain's DC Hotel!!
In late July, climate science deniers will descend upon the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. located right across the street from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to attend the Heartland Institutes annual climate conference. The theme this year is Best Science, Winning Energy Policies.
The conference will feature the courageous men and women who spoke the truth about climate change during the height of the global warming scare, as the events own description puts it. Now, many of them are advising the new administration or joining it in senior positions.
Fringe climate science deniers have surrounded and infiltrated the administration since President Donald Trump was elected from working on Trumps transition team, to meetings with top EPA officials. Trump himself has said climate change is a Chinese hoax, tweeted repeatedly that winter snowstorms disprove global warming, and said that climate scientists have a political agenda. And many top government officials in this administration deny the science on climate change.
EDIT
Heartlands conference comes as the head of the group, former Republican Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp, abruptly stepped down last week, just two years after taking the position, while offering no explanation. The think tank has in recent years faced funding uncertainties, with even ExxonMobil no longer donating to the organization. As head of Heartland, Heulskamp focused on energy policy and promoting coal at the state level as opposed to vocal attacks on climate science as his predecessor Joseph Bast did. The news of Huelskamp leaving his post comes shortly after another Koch-funded libertarian think tank, the Cato Institute, quietly announced it was disbanding its climate denial program, the Center for the Study of Science. A Cato spokesperson at the time, however, said this didnt change the organizations stance on human-caused climate change.
Ed. - Womp womp.
