Those who opposed the measure, including U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., are being targeted by environmental groups and others.
That includes the claim of using an expletive to dismiss climate change, and pulling in campaign money from oil and gas companies., the League of Conservation Voters took aim at Johnson, saying he"called climate change ‘bull - - - -’ during a record heatwave" and"raked in over $700k in fossil fuel cash."So did Johnson make light of climate change?
While speaking to the Republican Women of Greater Wisconsin on June 5, 2021, Johnson’s speech did, in fact, turn to climate change. "I don’t know about you guys, but I think climate change — as Lord Monckton said — bull - - - -," Johnson said, based on. He was referring to Lord Christopher Monckton, a noted British climate change skeptic, and mouthed the expletive before adding aloud:"By the way, it is."
Legions of scientists have researched climate change and determined it is real, with its impact seen in heat waves and drought in some areas, and rising sea levels in others., Johnson tried to soften the remark a bit, saying that he is not a climate change denier, nor is he a climate change alarmist.But the bottomline: Yes, Johnson was caught on video referring to climate change that way.
If PolitiFact were asked to write a press release for the DCCC, how would it read any differently than this?
Now do Hilary Clinton’s speeches to Wall Street
This is just a political add. You’re not even pretending to be unbiased. What did you fact check?
Good.
Nothing being checked here you partisan clowns. Everything in that statement is true.
He's not wrong
The new US climate bill will do almost nothing to reduce global temperature a reduction of 0.0009°F-0.028°F in 2100 (0.0005°C to 0.016°C)
Why wouldn't you take anyone's money? I've never understood this.
It is true that climate change is BS!! Well done PolitiFact!
SFW?
Where is the need for fact checking?
You guys really know how to gaslight don't ya! He doesn't deny that fact that Climate Change is real! He calls the policies and the fear mongering and the money grab of tax dollars BULL 🐂 ShellenbergerMD
Delete your account
Where's the fact check here? His statement is accurate, and lord knows everyone in DC is on someone's payroll.
You prove time and time again that you are simply a Democrat mouth piece
I fucking love fact checks !!!
Because it is bullshit 🙄
What fact is actually being 'checked' here?
How exactly is that a fact check? 🤔
It’s a wrong as all of your fact-checks
Mother Nature has cycles man seems ignorant to except this. Parties us this knowledge to fool constituents. Left is full steam ahead. 100 years from now maybe a cooling phase and the left will use that for agenda too. How many billion ppl guess killing some off is okay. Ask Gates
It is bull***!
And? This didn’t need a fact check. The dccc writhe this and hand it to you?
I’m just here for this very well-deserved ratio!
And?
That's because climate change is bull----. It's all about taxes and control of we the people, by the elites. The billionaire class.
Politihack
Ok, DNC.
So? It is. The climate isn't a static system. Never has been, never will be.
Non-sequitur much? Both are true
Climate change is bullshit
And?
He’s a Republican, so they’re like f*ck it, let’s run it.
Are you trying to make him into a hero? I mean he’s right. Its bullshit. Cope.
It’s a fact that the climate change bill is BS
Mining for minerals we put in solar panels is 100x worst for the environment than drilling for oil. Just another way for oligarchs to profit at the expense of the planet
He is correct.
Lmaooo. What exactly are you fact checking here? This is just a Dem attack ad
So?
You're all shitty propagandists.
Now do big pharma donations
Why is this a fact-check? It seems like an attempted political hit.
It’s almost as if the earth has been through ice ages and periods of high temps for millions of years before humans were around. To think we actually make a difference is laughable.
Guess what, it is bull.
Now do all the Dems who are taking millions from the so-called green energy corps
Your organization is scum. You are the EnemyOfThePeople.
Now itemize MandelaBarnes ' donors please.
Politifact is garbage.
Oh, so the oil & gas industry pays an infinitesimal part of what alarmists get to ruin the world without any benefit. Thanks for the confirmation.
He is right, it is BS!
Now do all the politicians who signed on the $750 billion dollar “inflation reduction act” line, that’ll get donations from “clean energy groups”.
The industry that has given us a modern civilization
Plotifucked says what?
Sounds like a good guy, hope he wins!
What’s the problem? Doomsday has been predicted in 10 years for 30 years now.
And…?
So?
And?
I think political should only use renewable power for their offices. Btw this tweet was seen by millions because of fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
Climate change framed as an imminent crisis IS bullshit.
How much is the DNC paying you guys to put out stuff like this?
What's wrong with that? Oil and gas are the lifeblood of the world, something the left seems to have forgotten
Politifact is the Comms arm of the Democratic Party, nothing else.
It is bullshit, comrade.
So, , to recapt the previous tweets: Climate Change is BULLSHIT. It is a way way to remove money from the middle class in order to finance the rich as they traipse ab Earth bitching about PATRIOTS trashing the atmosphere while flying around in spewing CO2 aircraft.
If it looks like shit and smells like shit, it's shit. Who he gets donations from doesn't matter.
Ok…
Yes, he should have said “man made climate change”
Just verifies I voted for the right guy.
Sadly, you toìtes don't know how to do FACTUAL research Even if you did that research well, you'd never understand what you found.
Hell, I'll say it's bullshit - for free
WAY short of what the sitting President’s son earned - and still earns - from his Chinese what’s the point?
Ok, and? So, is this an in kind contribution to the DCCC?
pOliTiFaCt
Sweet,good for him
So what
This is a fact check?
So? He's right, it is bullsh*t. So is the idea that you're independent, non-partisan 'fact checkers'.
So when does Brian Stelter start as the new face of politifact?
It is. And so? Or are you disappointed he didn't take anything from coal?
Haven't European NGOs taken millions of dollars from Russia to champion policies that made western Europe dependent on Russian oil and natural gas? Why not point that out? People are actually going to die from lack of heat this winter whereas Johnson's statements hurt no one.
Well, well politifarce... Climate change is a bigger farce than y'all, . Here are some FACTS: barack obozo is so worried about climate change that he bought a house at 16 feet above sea level; the Earth is still warming from the last ice age (not the one you think)...
Did anyone claim Johnson said otherwise? What’s the “fact” check, here? And he took $ from oil & gas industry - so….? What? Really, what is the point of “fact” checking things everybody already acknowledges actually happened?
Y’all just love your 🐃💩 “fact checks”! Just be truthful for a change and add a note ‘edited/approved by the dnc’.
So, you are congratulating him for being correct, right? He was, and is, dead on. Unless, of course, you are just PolitiPropaganda....
Oooo, now do “green” energy to Democrats. Or China to the Biden family or Democrat insider trading
It would be a problem if he called climate change bullshit(it's Twitter, don't be afraid of words) and then took money from anti oil and gas groups. Politicians take donations from groups they agree with. Not news.
And?
It IS bullshit.
Are you debunking what he said? What? Do you people have editors?
Once again, politifact gets it wrong.
It is bullshit
It is bullshit. And I'd rather he take money from the evil oil companies than getting money from wind or EV subsidies.
Yes, so? I mean is there some point to this?
Why don't you just own up and call yourselves DemFact. Because all you are in reality are Communist Democrat propagandists
Why fact check something that's on video?
Good for him.
Lmao...and?!
Ok, and? Climate whatever it's now being called is not the panic porn you think it is.
Your point, dears?
Smart man!
Oh, he's compromised. Who could've guessed... he was also one of the Republicans who attended the Kremlin during July 4th. Odd.
Both can be true at one time.
And? He is correct it is another laundering money project for the democrats, and before the snowflakes explode,explain to me how taxing us more will have any effect on other nations that dont have any epa regualtions, China,India, Mexico...only to name a few
He’s right, it is, at least how Dems describe it.
So what? Big fuckin' deal. Climate change is bullshit. It's all a scam.
Well it is BS so what exactly is your point?
It is BS, and also the definition of seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall.
Imagine if we lived in a country where everyone saw your organization for the political hacks that you are. What we could achieve then! Unfortunately, I have no doubt your deceptions work on many. That is why we continue to watch our country decline.
Who the hell asked for a check?
This isn't even a fact-check over a disputed claim, but rehashing an old quote as an attack for political gain under the guise of objectivity.
Well he's not wrong
Sooooo... then what?
I'll worry about him after you start telling us all about Pelosi's insider trading. 'Non-Partisan Fact Checker' indeed.
Fact check paid for by the Democratic Party. Signed, The Democratic Party
Johnson’s right. Can pretty guarantee anything you say, the opposite is true.
And? The oil and gas industry is still what largely powers our country.
Did the senator deny this happened?
This isn’t a fact check
Did anyone claim this wasn’t true? What’s the issue here?
You really are desperate, aren't you? Johnson is right and the O&G industry has done more for civilization than anything you could dream up
He is absolutely right in what he said. No denying that.
PolitiHACKS-
Those 2 things are not mutually exclusive.
Idc. And climate change is bull——
Donations don't change the fact that it's bull.
How much had Hunter Biden taken from China and Ukraine?
It is “bull••••”.
Your point?
And?
I call the 'climate change' hysteria 'bull----' too. And I had a bagel this morning. Fact check that.
How does that make anthropogenic global warming true? It is BULLSHIT regardless of oil & gas industry donations to him.
So what!
SFW? Now tell us about elitist climate change cultists who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
Good for him.
And? Joe Biden praises labor unions while simultaneously taking in lots of money from labor unions. Both sides do it.
Yeah well it is BS and so what!?
LOL because it is BULL !!!!!
Climate change is a scam
No industry invests more in alternative energy R & D than the Oil & Gas industry.
Your tweet suggests cause and effect between campaign donations and the politician's views on climate change. Maybe you should PolitiFactThis.
And?
Climate Change is bullshit. Let's not sit around and act surprised that a politician received lobbyist cash. All of them receive corporate cash. Chuck Schumer took money from companies linked to Nord Stream 2. Fact check that shit.
Climate change is bullshit. Truth hurts.
And?
It is bullshit
Well...it is BS. Climate has always fluctuated.
Climate change happens as it has for millions of years , the arrogance of human beings to believe they can impact climate to is amazing. Climate forecasters rely on computer projections ,junk in junk out
Well it is BS.
What’s your point?
He’s right!
It is.
It IS bullshit.
So? Cover the democrats taking $$ from Soros who has committed himself in public talks to taking down this country.
Also wonder if we can figure out how to grow crops on the leach fields used in the making of EV batteries, that would be a WIN, WIN. LMFAO
So what if he did Politi'Fact'?
I've been hearing this stuff for many years. Plymouth Rock is still at sea level. BHO owns 2 homes on the water and celebs spouting climate change flying around the globe in private jets. Yes, the climate changes and has done so for billions of years & will continue to do so
Sen John Hickenlooper, who serves on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, reported owning up to $500,000 worth of Duke Energy stock during 2020. He sold up to $250,000 worth of Chevron stock in late October 2021, and he reported up to $1 million in capital gains from Exxon
Cool, now tell us How Politicians benefited from Donations from Tesla?
I agree.... Look at all Obama's solar panels
Great we are going to need more fuel, especially coal for electricity for all those EVs. Nothing like having infrastructure in place BEFORE going off the rails.
Everyone pushing the climate change hoax owns oceanfront property. If they really thought sea levels were rising they would be living in Iowa or Nebraska, not Martha's Vineyard or Del Mar, CA.
And?
Better then taking money from green energy industry.
And?
And?
