In an effort to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory following the unanimous Senate defeat of the Green New Deal last week, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is introducing an alternative bill to the Green New Deal, called the Green Real Deal. In a commentary published today, Gaetz channels Al Gore and Gore’s “The debate is over” claim, writing: “The reality of climate change is a stupid thing to argue about.” JunkScience was the first to challenge Al Gore to debate in January 2006. Let us be the first to challenge Gaetz on his foolishness. Let’s go at it, Congressman. If debating climate is so “stupid,” it should be a lay-up to waste me.
