Climate Denial From Mars
Climate deniers are creative types. They have to be.
During a committee hearing in the Kentucky State Senate, Republican Brandon Smith argued — in reference to the EPA’s new requirement that power plants cut their carbon emissions by 30 percent in the next 16 years (which he apparently dislikes) — that Mars and Earth share “exactly” the same temperature.

Of course, Mars and Earth do NOT share the same temperature. Mars has an extremely thin atmosphere, so it is a lot colder there.
But, the real point here: Sen. Brandon Smith is a highly creative individual. Especially as the pressure of climate denial turns up the heat!

Hi! Welcome!! Good job!! 🙂
Thanks. Glad to be here!
Mr. Smith’s coal industry is dying because of renewable energy’s rapid rise, so he along with historically dominant oil/coal company owners are desperately doing all they can to prevent now cost-competitive renewables’ development, and squeeze the profits out before the “funeral.”
Or, he’s just ignorant.
I wonder, what kind of testimonies would fossil fuel industrialists give at a hearing where they were being charged with Crimes against Humanity?
At best, he’s just poorly educated. But most likely, he knows he’s lying, and hopes people listening to him know nothing about Mars or science.
Maybe the fossil fuel elites believe they will colonize Mars when Earth is destroyed.
They need to remember that everyone, even them, will suffer if we let global warming get worse.
It’s impssible to understand what motivates them to continue on this doomed path.
If only fossil fuel companies would use their billions to transition to renewable energy systems, they would be considered heroes. They would be at the top of their game. They would make so much money. Why haven’t any done this?
