Ambassador To Canada Believes 'Both Sides" of Climate Science
New U.S. Ambassador To Canada Kelly Craft Says She Believes 'Both Sides' Of Climate Science
The new U.S. ambassador to Canada says that when it comes to climate change she believes in "both sides of the science."
Kelly Craft, who took up her position Monday, told the CBC's Rosemary Barton she appreciated all of the scientific evidence on climate change.
"I think that both sides have their own results, from their studies, and I appreciate and I respect both sides of the science," Craft told Barton.
She also said that while U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to climate change is different from the government of Canada's, both the U.S. and Canada have the same goal: to "better our environment and to maintain the environment."
Craft said the U.S. can still fight climate change even though her country has signalled it will leave the Paris climate change accord.
Trump said earlier this year he would pull the United States out of the accord that was signed by former president Barack Obama. Craft's husband, billionaire coal-mining magnate Joe Craft, has criticized Obama's climate change policies.
The former Republican fundraiser was sworn in by Kentucky governor and longtime friend Matt Bevin in August, and formally assumed her post after presenting her credentials to Gov. Gen. Julie Payette at Rideau Hall in Ottawa this morning.

Kelly is the wife of coal company owner Joe Craft. NOW it makes sense, doesn't it.

Re: Ambassador To Canada Believes 'Both Sides" of Climate Science
Given that one side believes that man-made climate change is occurring, and the other side does not,,,,,,,,
How is it possible to Believe both sides ?
With apologies to Joni Mitchell:
I've looked at science from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's science's illusions I recall
I really don't know science at all,,,,,,,

It's called Doublethink; the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct.
It's perfectly normal,,,,,,,, If you are living in the old Soviet Union, or are a character in George Orwell's dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-four.
