Shitstain's UN Ambassador Nominee Believes In "Both Sides' Of Climate "Debate"

EDIT

Craft, 56, was a business executive and philanthropist before serving as ambassador to Canada. Her husband, Joe Craft, is president and chief executive of coal producer Alliance Resource Partners.

The couple are major Republican donors, having given about $1.5 million to GOP candidates in 2016, including $270,800 to Trump's campaign committee or his joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee.

The Crafts also have been repeat, high-paying customers at Trump's hotel in Washington, according to a list of "VIP Arrivals" distributed to hotel staff on June 19, 2018. That list, obtained by The Washington Post, was intended to help staff identify the Trump International Hotel's most important customers as they checked in.

EDIT

Craft made headlines shortly after assuming her post in Canada when she told Canadian Broadcasting Corp. News that she believes "both sides" of the climate change debate. "I believe there are sciences on both sides that are accurate," Craft told the Canadian broadcaster. "Both sides have their own results from their studies, and I appreciate and respect both sides of the science." Climate change is a major issue at the U.N., which sponsored the 2015 Paris climate accords that President Trump has disavowed.

that might actually be an improvement.

Believing both sides (and I disagree with the concept that climate change is not happening) is better than totally dismissing all the climate change science.

Otherwise your opinion is worthless. I’d like to see how someone like this comes to the conclusion that both sides have science on their side. Clearly not a science person. Would like to further elucidate, but I got to go blood-let in prep for my leech treatments...
