In a recent hearing in the U.S. Senate Budget Committee Democrats brought in U.S. Olympic cross country skier Gus Schumacher as an expert to provide testimony on Global Warming. Sadly for Gus, among those questioning was kind, soft-spoken gentleman from Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy.
Kennedy took some time asking Schumacher why he was there as an expert, he also exposed some of the young man's more troublesome beliefs on some other topics and it was then that Gus had little to say. In fact, uttering a "Dude" would have been more interesting than anything the kid actually managed.
Among the many ironies is that everything Gus does revolves around the petroleum industry. The equipment he uses, the way he travels around the world, the clothing he wears, yet he dares to show up as an "expert witness" to influence public policy and budget decisions because of the his belief in man-made climate change..
I suggest he start by divesting himself from all things made with carbon producing energy and from carbon producing products - like petroleum. He will be left naked running across snow covered hills and paths.
This interaction displays how children are being brainwashed and what awaits us as these kids become adults. One can only hope they mature enough to correct their thinking before it's too late.
