Hillary Clinton Makes Junk Science “Global Warming” Her Central Issue for 2016
It’s official. Hillary Clinton is running for President of the United States. That wasn’t a surprise, but something about her campaign really stood out yesterday – and most people missed it.
This tweet by John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman:
As reported at ThinkProgress, Hillary’s campaign is the first major presidential campaign to make [global warming] a central issue.
… We tracked questions from the media leading up to the election. America’s top five network news anchors at the time – CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, MSNBC’s Tim Russert, Fox News’ Chris Wallace, and CBS’s Bob Schieffer – conducted 171 interviews with the candidates, asking 2,975 questions. Only six mentioned “climate change” or “global warming.” (For comparison, three mentioned UFOs).
