SKOUSEN: Bombarded by Seven Hours of Propaganda about Global Warming on CNN!

The media is determined to make global warming a hot campaign issue.

Last night, I watched part of the seven-hour program on CNN — yes, SEVEN hours — on the Democrats’ response to the global warming hysteria.

It was long enough to see socialist Senator Bernie Sanders advocate spending $16 trillion (trillion!) of taxpayers’ money on solving climate change.

Senator Kamala Harris wants to ban all fossil fuel use in 11 years, which will destroy millions of jobs and raise the cost of living dramatically (alternative energy is still very expensive compared to oil & gas).

One Democratic Party candidate claimed that hurricanes now are more frequent and intense, both of which are factually incorrect.

Fortunately, Fox News tried to give a more balanced and fair approach. Heartland Institute geologist Gregory Wrightstone, author of “Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know” (click here to his book on Amazon), was a guest who gave a less hysterical viewpoint that climate change isn’t the end of the world, not now, or in 11 years as activist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known as AOC, and other alarmist Democrats expect.

We plan a hot debate on “Global Warming: How Bad Is It?” at FreedomFest 2020. Can’t wait to find out the facts, the truth and the best policies to deal with this issue.

Good investing, AEIOU,
