5 years away is long enough. Watching Oversight Dems hearing on oil company greenwashing this morning. Republican members are kicking this off dutifully reading statements that could have been prepared by their donors.
Why are we asking the question of why limiting the increase of global temps is important Oversight Dems? Mann is going to spend precious minutes answering a question we already know the answer to. We're not trying to convince anyone here, we and they KNOW the impacts.
More demonstrably false information and speculation from Rep. James Comer. And Tubbs isn't backing her responses up with any research. "I believe" "I think". Why not back up your arguments with data. Because you can't.
This is all theater and infuriating Oversight Committee Democrats. NOTHING that is being said here today is changing anyone's mind, or moving the ball forward. We're running out of time, and both sides are up here reenacting a hearing from 2006.
