Doom: ACB Declined To Answer When ‘Climate Change’ Is Human Caused

If you’re thinking “did the climate cultist senators actually ask Amy Coney Barrett questions on the climate crisis (scam)”, well, yes, they did

Barrett deflects senators’ questions on climate change

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett refused to say whether she accepts the science of climate change, saying she lacks the expertise to know for sure and calling it a topic too controversial to get into.

On Wednesday, pressed at her confirmation hearing by Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Barrett framed acknowledgment of manmade climate change as a matter of policy, not science.

Barrett said Harris, the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee as well as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was trying to get her to state an opinion “on a very contentious matter of public debate, and I will not do that.”

Barrett was responding to a series of questions from Harris, including whether she thinks the novel coronavirus is infectious, whether smoking causes cancer and whether “climate change is happening and it’s threatening the air we breathe and the water we drink.”

The federal appeals court judge responded that she does think coronavirus is infectious and smoking causes cancer. She rebuffed Harris on the climate change question, however, for seeking to “solicit an opinion” on a “matter of public policy, especially one that is politically controversial.”

The first two are established by science, 100%. The latter is simply inferred, and, if it is mostly caused by the burning of fossil fuels, as the article goes on to say, then why do so few Warmists give up their own use of fossil fuels? Perhaps Kamala should lead the way and stop flying all over the country in fossil fueled airplanes, which then require the requisite fossil fueled SUVs to get to campaign appearances.

(Business Insider) The Supreme Court is set to hear a case related to climate change in 2021. More than four in 10 voters (42%) surveyed by Pew Research Center in late July and early August said climate change was “very important” to their vote in the 2020 election.

Ann Carlson, a faculty director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at UCLA School of Law, told The New York Times she found Barrett’s response “disturbing.”

“It’s a dodge that fails to acknowledge the overwhelming scientific consensus that humans are causing the planet to warm,” Carlson said.

Got that? It’s a dodge! Except, being a judge isn’t about political policy, it’s about rulings based on the law and Constitution. And consensus isn’t science, it’s politics.
