Exposed: Carly Fiorna LIES on Economy and protecting enviroment
Roberts joins me on today’s BradCast to dissect Carly’s clap-trap, and to discuss a new report from those lefty, environmentalist, tree-huggers [sarcasm] over at Citi GPS (the research arm of Citigroup), finding that moving to clean renewable energy now, in order to try and help mitigate climate change, is ultimately less expensive for the world than sticking with our current fossil fuel economy status quo.
Carly’s Climate Clap-Trap or The Fiorina Follies: ‘BradCast’ 8/25/2015
Over the weekend, supposedly moderate, supposedly reasonable 2016 GOP Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina discussed climate change — for four long minutes — with Yahoo News’ Katie Couric. In the bargain, as climate journalist David Roberts of Vox.com noted, “everything she said was wrong.” Really wrong.
Roberts joins me on today’s BradCast to dissect Carly’s clap-trap, and to discuss a new report from those lefty, environmentalist, tree-huggers over at Citi GPS (the research arm of Citigroup), finding that moving to clean renewable energy now, in order to try and help mitigate climate change, is ultimately less expensive for the world than sticking with our current fossil fuel economy status quo.
“Moderate Republicans have decided that outright science denial is no longer working for them,” Roberts explain in regard to Fiorina’s bizarre climate comments. “They’ve concluded that it makes them look old and cranky and backwards, and it’s hurting them with young people and Latinos. So there’s at least a small collection of Republicans who have started thinking ‘How do we oppose doing anything without denying the science?’ That’s the dilemma that’s in front of them. That’s what Fiorina is trying to solve here.”
The results, for the failed businesswoman and failed U.S. Senate candidate, as we discuss point-by-point — from her silly claims to Couric about wind farms and birds, to the one about solar power requiring “huge amounts of water” — were as disastrous as her failed reign as CEO of HP.
“Republicans have spent so long dug in on this stupid science debate over climate change,” Roberts tells me, “they haven’t bothered to notice or look around or educate themselves at all about what’s going on in this area. So, now they are leaving science denial behind — slowly but surely — [and] wandering out into this territory where they know almost nothing. They’re just stepping on rakes everywhere.”
Summarizing Citi’s new report, Roberts explains its findings this way: “It’s basically, ‘Do you do the same thing you’re doing at enormous risk, or do you take this alternative route which costs about the same and avoids this enormous risk?’ At the end of all this they basically say, ‘Why would you not do this? It’s got so many benefits and so little downside. Why aren’t we doing that?’ And, of course, why we aren’t has everything to do with politics.”
“If you want to say that the transition to clean energy is going to destroy the economy, then the burden of proof is on you at this point, because there’s so much research saying otherwise,” he adds during our wide ranging — and kinda fun — conversation!
