Exactly. This ugly display by a US ambassador on foreign soil is as much an endictment against the sweathogs in the US media (in comparison to the woke Dutch journos) as it is against the pitiful partisan appointed hack, Hoekstra.

She says that she believes both sides of climate science?!?!?

So she is implicitly saying that "both sides" of the climate science debate are equal?

97% of the world's scientists from a very wide variety of independently funded science disciplines agree that climate change is real and human driven while 3% who are fossil fuel funded do not.

Both sides are to be taken with equal weight?

That's both sides are equal? Math?

Good doG, the stupid it burns!
