A video from a 2021 event showed U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson calling climate change “bull----”. He has taken over $750,000 in donations from the oil and gas industry.
Those who opposed the measure, including U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., are being targeted by environmental groups and others.
That includes the claim of using an expletive to dismiss climate change, and pulling in campaign money from oil and gas companies., the League of Conservation Voters took aim at Johnson, saying he"called climate change ‘bull - - - -’ during a record heatwave" and"raked in over $700k in fossil fuel cash."So did Johnson make light of climate change?
While speaking to the Republican Women of Greater Wisconsin on June 5, 2021, Johnson’s speech did, in fact, turn to climate change. "I don’t know about you guys, but I think climate change — as Lord Monckton said — bull - - - -," Johnson said, based on. He was referring to Lord Christopher Monckton, a noted British climate change skeptic, and mouthed the expletive before adding aloud:"By the way, it is."
Legions of scientists have researched climate change and determined it is real, with its impact seen in heat waves and drought in some areas, and rising sea levels in others., Johnson tried to soften the remark a bit, saying that he is not a climate change denier, nor is he a climate change alarmist.But the bottomline: Yes, Johnson was caught on video referring to climate change that way.
