Lee Zeldin Caught in Climate Change Hoax Lie by Chris Williamson on Rebel HQ

Zeldin's Shifting Stance on Climate Change

• 💡 Chris Williamson of Rebel HQ highlights the apparent contradiction in Lee Zeldin's statements regarding climate change.
• 📌 Zeldin, currently heading the EPA, is accused of parroting debunked talking points that the climate crisis is a "hoax" and a "con job."
• 🎭 During his confirmation process, Zeldin stated he believed climate change is real, but later framed President Trump's comments as criticism of policies due to economic costs, rather than denial of the science itself.
• 💰 The video suggests Zeldin's motivations may be influenced by nearly $270,000 in campaign funds received from the oil and gas industry.

Accusations of a "Green Scam"

• ⚠️ Zeldin is quoted as calling climate change predictions a "greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world" and warning that countries will fail if they don't abandon the "green scam."
• 📉 He criticizes policies enacted in the name of climate change for causing "extreme economic pain," job losses, and higher energy costs.
• 🏛️ Zeldin's actions at the EPA are described as implementing a "Trump mandate" focused on deregulation, including a proposed rescission of the 2009 Obama EPA endangerment finding.

Protests and Public Accountability

• 📣 Protesters confronted Zeldin, calling out his stance and making it "physically impossible for us to regulate life-threatening emissions."
• 🗣️ Williamson emphasizes the importance of making officials uncomfortable and holding them accountable for their statements and actions.
• ✊ The need to "fight back" with words and actions against those who deny basic science and hold powerful government positions is stressed.

Concerns Over Science Denial in Leadership

• 🌍 The video expresses deep concern that individuals who "do not believe in basic science" like Trump, Zeldin, and RFK Jr. hold powerful government roles.
• 🚫 This is seen as a reflection of having the "wrong people in office," putting lives and the environment at stake.
• ⚖️ Zeldin is criticized for using legal interpretations and Supreme Court rulings to justify deregulation and avoid implementing policies to address climate change.
