Dept. Of Energy Boosts Perry: Winning Fight Against Climate Scientists
Source: Talking Points Memo
Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and his departments communications staff on Thursday boosted an opinion piece praising Perrys apparent ignorance of the scientific consensus that carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions are the primary cause of climate change.
The Energy Departments press staff first tweeted a link to the column published in the Hill, which Perry then retweeted from his own account.
In the editorial, Canadian economist Ross McKitrick who does not appear to have advanced degrees in any scientific fields and was the subject of a column titled Is climate disinformer Ross McKitrick dishonest or dumb? praised Perry for giving a cautious response to an awkward question.
Asked on CNBC whether he believed carbon dioxide emissions were the primary driving force behind global temperature and climate changes, Perry replied, No, most likely the primary control knob is the ocean waters and this environment that we live in.
