How did lobbyists halt #climate action 20 years ago? They hosted receptions for key congressional staffers claiming to “shatter consensus” about the dangers of #ClimateChange. I was there. It worked.

@Sheril Whatever happened to the 4 presenters? Have they recanted their views by now or continue to make a business out of holding an increasingly implausible contrarian view?

@albertcardona I don’t know but I doubt it. It was quite a briefing & I was one of the few actual scientist staffers in the room. Left an indelible impression on me bc unfortunately, it was so effective.

@kegill @Sheril Thank you. And not sorry to have read "Frauenfeld" as "Fraudulent" for a moment ...
