Kennedy Grills Unprepared 'Expert' Witness on Climate Change
-
Senator Kennedy questioned "expert" witness Gus Schumacher, an Olympic skier testifying on climate change, and stumped him on basic climate questions.
-
Schumacher was unable to answer what carbon dioxide is or how much it would cost to go carbon-neutral.
-
Kennedy also pulled up Schumacher's old tweets reposting activist views he seemed unable to defend or recall.
-
The hearing was an "embarrassment" for Democrats and climate activists as Schumacher seemed unprepared for basic questions.
-
Social media mocked the choice of having a 20-something skier as an expert witness on climate legislation.
