At Climate Forward event, an architect of Project 2025 dismisses global warming (www.nytimes.com)

At a New York Times Climate Forward event, Kevin D. Roberts said climate change amounted to a “hot year.”

Kevin D. Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, which published a policy blueprint for the next Republican administration known as Project 2025, on Wednesday dismissed the overwhelming scientific consensus that humans were warming the planet.

At the New York Times Climate Forward event, he 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.

“It sounds like weather to me, a hot year,” Mr. Roberts said.

He also addressed Project 2025’s relationship with Mr. Trump, who has distanced himself from the policy blueprint. Thirty-one of the 38 authors of Project 2025 plan were top advisers to Mr. Trump during his first term, and many would most likely serve in prominent roles if he were to retake the White House in November.

But Mr. Roberts said the effort was “nonpartisan.”

The project, which has been a collaborative effort across the conservative ecosystem led by the Heritage Foundation, has become a lightning rod on the 2024 campaign trail. The group had spent months developing a 900-page plan to reshape the federal government. Among its many recommendations, the plan calls for replacing thousands of career scientists and other government employees with Trump loyalists.

This man is a reprehensible zealot with the potential to cause widespread harm.

“It sounds like weather to me, a hot year,” Mr. Roberts said.

His dismissive views are obvious fallacies, but our scientists - who he'd like to replace en masse - hold the receipts.

As "architect" is used in describing the author of this so-called plan, let's recall some "architects" really aren't architects.
