Amy Coney Barrett has dodged Democrats’ questions all week on policy matters. Her silence has been defeaning for some during her Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing. But on Wednesday, she took it a step further and refused to discuss whether climate change is real. Kamala Harris asked Barrett if she believed in other scientifically proven facts before bringing up climate change. “Yes, I do accept that COVID-19 is infectious,” Barrett said with a chuckle. HuffPost reports however, Barrett clammed up when pushed on issues regarding climate change.
Greta Thunberg and other environmental activists gather outside the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg, northeastern France, which is due to rule in three separate cases to decide wether states are doing enough in the face of climate change. IMAGES
US President Donald Trump has been furiously and hysterically tweeting about various states' ballot-counting processes. He's argued that votes still being counted in vital battleground states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania should be dismissed. However, HuffPost reports he's been dished out the same condescending advice from the same young environmentalist he gave it to. Greta Thunberg tweeted that Trump should 'chill,' 'work on his Anger Management problem' and watch a 'good old fashioned movie with a friend. Trump originally used the 'anger management' line against Thunberg in December 2019 after the teen was named Time’s Person of the Year.
