The Washington Times has a story on the letter which Dr. Richard Lindzen sent to the Trump White House.
Story is here:  MIT’s Richard Lindzen says policies cause economic harm with ‘no environmental benefits’

Letter to Trump is here.

The petition is signed by 300 scientists.  This is a real number unlike the phony “97% of scientists agree” which you hear parroted so often.

Here is the petition:

We urge the United States government, and others, to withdraw from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). We support reasonable and cost-effective environmental protection. But carbon dioxide, the target of the UNFCCC is not a pollutant but a major benefit to agriculture and other life on Earth. Observations since the UNFCCC was written 25 years ago show that warming from increased atmospheric CO2 will be benign — much less than initial model predictions.

Remember when Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was censured on the floor of the US Senate for breaking the rules?  Remember how it was a big story and the MSM spun it as a terrible thing?

Well, it’s happened again.  Let’s see how it is covered this time.

State Senator Janet Nguyen (R-SD34) escorted from Senate floor

Senator Rubio (R-FL), as part of the debate regarding the Rule XIX violation by Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), opined on the current state of political debate in general.

TBF he did not excuse his own behavior in some cases where he went over the line as noted by the Miami Herald:

Amid the debate, Rubio gave a lengthy speech. “We have become a society incapable of having debates anymore,” he said, adding figures in both parties, himself included, have engaged in heated rhetoric.
