Shitstain's Climate Rep @ Bonn Conference: "I Actually Don't Know What 2C Means"
EDIT
So you claim to be an American, but we see right through your greed, the protesters sang at a panel including George David Banks, president Trumps special energy assistant and moderated by vice president Mike Pences assistant Francis Brooke. Natural gas, coal and nuclear companies were also represented.
As they marched out of the room, they were joined by hundreds of other demonstrators that had not been able to get in. The panel sat quietly through the protest before launching into a defence of the role of various forms of fossil energy in climate mitigation, in front of a half-empty room.
Fossil fuels, including high efficiency coal power generation and carbon capture and storage, were vital to achieving the goals of the Paris deal, said Holly Krutka, vice president of coal generation and emissions technologies from Peabody Energy.
Banks said: This panel is only controversial if we choose to bury our heads in the sand and ignore the realities of a global energy system. He repeatedly said he was in Bonn to talk openly. When asked later by Climate Home News if the administration held the policy that the 2C warming target from the Paris deal needed to be avoided, he said: I actually dont know what that means, the 2C target.
