Eco-nomics: As hurricane raged, Project 2025 heaped on denial

By Paul Roberts / For The Herald

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, the New York Times sponsored its annual “Climate Forward” forum. The forum is a day-long event interviewing world leaders, scientists and activists who represent a diverse set of perspectives on climate change.

While the forum was underway, Hurricane Helene hit the Southeastern U.S. More on that later.

This year’s forum included an interview with Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts speaking about Project 2025, a wish list of what its advisers would advance if Trump becomes president. Roberts was interviewed by Times’ journalist David Gelles. During the interview Roberts said: “Climate change is ending the American dream” and it represents the “politicization of the federal government.”

Times’ journalist Coral Davenport reported that Roberts blasted the Biden administration’s climate policies and downplayed the consistent rise in average global temperatures that has triggered more severe drought, heat waves, floods and storms; including atmospheric rivers and hurricanes.
