CO2 Coalition: The great climate change hustle began 37 years ago on June 23, 1988. Just like today, the very first Senate hearing on it featured skewed temperatures, misinformation and censorship of contrary science.
This first hearing was convened by former Senator Timothy E. Wirth along with a young Senator from Tennessee named Al Gore. It was no coincidence that the hearing was held on this date.
“We called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer,” explained Senator Wirth. “So, we scheduled the hearing that day, and bingo, it was the hottest day on record in Washington, or close to it. What we did is that we went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right, so that the air conditioning wasn’t working inside the room.”
That hearing began a nearly 40-year run of unimpeded misinformation linking carbon dioxide to unusual and unprecedented warming.
- Consensus science replaced the scientific method.
- Censorship of contrary evidence was nearly complete.
- No debate was allowed because the science was settled.
But now, as Bob Dylan sang in 1964, The Times They Are A-changing. The scientists and experts at the CO2 Coalition have experienced fierce headwinds in recent decades, but now, the wind is at our backs. The CO2 Coalition was created for times such as these. Our nearly 200 experts are not sitting still. We are preparing fact-filled documents that are being used at the U.S. Departments of Interior, Energy and Transportation as well as at the EPA.
