Ron Johnson renews his war on the sun

If you're trying to figure out why Ron Johnson would blame the catastrophic, ideological mismanagement of the Texas power grid on a Green New Deal before any such plan has been adopted, you might recall that he's been throwing shade at the skies and sun for years, though not yet measured in eons of time:

Sunspots are behind climate change, Johnson says

A global warming skeptic, Johnson said extreme weather phenomena were better explained by sunspots than an overload of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as many scientists believe. 

"I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change," Johnson said. "It's not proven by any stretch of the imagination." 

Johnson, in an interview last month, described believers in manmade causes of climate change as "crazy" and the theory as "lunacy." 

"It's far more likely that it's just sunspot activity or just something in the geologic eons of time," he said.

Does Johnson know the evil sun was spotted over Milwaukee in just the past few days? Talk about clear and present danger.


Losing the chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security Committee is no excuse to overlook the local threat right up there!
