Amy Coney Barrett says ‘politically controversial’ climate change is still a matter of public debate

Man-made climate change — the long-run threat to the global economy and security that serves as the basis for competing clean-energy bills by both parties — is a controversial topic still up for public debate, so off limits for her, Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett said Wednesday.

Harris, recalling previous comments by the nominee, said Barrett “made clear” she believes climate change is debatable, pressing the judge again by asking: “Do you believe it is happening and that it affects the air and environment?” “ ‘I will not express a view on a matter of public controversy, especially when it’s politically controversial.’ ”

Politically controversial is not scientifically controversial. The rest of the world has long-since moved on from denying climate change.

I'm in awe of how fast marketwatch if becoming nyt

wrong. she should have said humans affect on climate and the percent is cont and unknown

more important is the real cause

Amy Covid Barr-not

It’s not something to be decided by a fucking court and any grouo that disagrees should be disqualified for their lack of ability to see that and attempt to politicize the issue. She didn’t deny shit, she plainly said it’s up for public debate, which is the only correct answer.

Lol Supreme Court justices are not experts on science

Creating a narrative 'Climate change is a left leaning policy'. This is exactly why people trust in media and tend to go in all sorts of direction.

Climate change is real. Manmade climate change is not.

How are people that deny Scientific facts allowed to be appointed🤦🏻‍♂️

Any Phoney Parrot?

When a Judge has no comment, that should tell you everything you need to know!

It’s been 2 days and you still have not mentioned about Hunters emails

Climate change is an act of God not man for worse or better

They believe in the Bible. It doesn't matter if it's real because the end is coming anyways. The earth is not where the story ends for them so there's no instinct to preserve it. The earth is like the waiting room. She's not evil but that's what too much faith does.

a summer in Palm Springs might change her mind.

Her extremist religious viewpoints disqualifies her from the position of judiciary. She doesn't believe in science, freedom or democracy. She believes in fundamentalism, absolutism and is blind to the reality that the world didn't stop in 1776.

Sounds accurate

Exactly why im glad to know Trump got 3 picks and not Clinton

Also 99% of scientists and an overwhelming majority of Americans but ok Marketwatch

does she need their approval?

Sen. Klobuchar: Amy Coney Barrett gave Trump a ‘clear signal’ about her stance on the ACASen. Klobuchar says Judge Barrett's previous remarks on the Affordable Care Act were a 'clear signal to Donald Trump' of where she stands on overturning the health care legislation. I don’t see how the ACA was constitutional. You got fined for not signing up for something even if you didn’t want it. Seems like it was a debt trap to get us to beg for socialized medicine and blaming artificial health care prices. This chick is a bonafide trick! SMART? Is denial of voting rights a crime? Can the president change the voting date? Some of the first things you learn in civil! Then you got MITCH Turtle Moscow looking like a fool!
