“Do You Believe in the Tooth Fairy?” Senator John Kennedy Roasts Climate Alarmist During Hearing
During a hearing Friday, Senator John Kennedy embarrassed Dr. Robert Litterman.
Litterman, a Wall Street elitist, worked 23 with Goldman Sachs. He has advocated for America as a solution to climate change, however, he has no idea how much it’ll cost the United States. The so called “expert” also pleaded ignorance when asked about China, the world’s largest polluter, and their willingness to commit to the cause.
Kennedy asked, “How much would it cost to make the United States of America carbon neutral by 2050?”
Litterman’s response was: “I don’t know.”
Kennedy asked, “So you’re advocating these things but you don’t know the cost?”
“Yes, absolutely. I certainly don’t know the ultimate cost and it’s very uncertain,” Litterman responded.
WATCH:
Experts claim it could cost $50 TRILLION to make the U.S. carbon neutral by 2050.
Q: “How much will that lower global temperatures?”
