In a recent Senate hearing, a young cross-country skier, referred to by critics as a "Pretty Boy Gen Z" and likened to "Jeff Spicoli", was brought in as an expert witness on climate change by Senate Democrats, sparking controversy and ridicule. Senator John Kennedy's questioning of the 23-year-old witness, criticized for his lack of broader expertise and described as a "complete and utter dumbshit", has been highlighted as particularly noteworthy. Critics argue that the choice of such a witness, whose expertise was mocked as being based solely on personal observations of less snow, undermines the seriousness of the climate change debate. The incident, described as "like watching a movie" and "Holy hell", has led to a broader discussion on the selection of expert witnesses in congressional hearings, the politicization of climate change, and accusations of the climate cult being "phony as a $3 bill".
Oh look, "the experts" are baffled again. About something that is blindingly obvious to anyone with half a brain and the capacity for critical thought. 🤡 https://t.co/vCHcx7inzP

This nonsense goes to show that, although rare, even those with deep knowledge of and experience in Ukraine can go completely off the deep end of motivated credulousness and boneheaded presumptions. Always check what other experts are saying and, of course, think for yourselves. https://t.co/VSKPYcWuMd
Honestly I think this shows two big issues in our politics. The young man thinks he's there to discuss the effect of 'climate change on his sport,' but can't answer further than, 'If we work together...' The old guy, however, is trying to embarrass him, citing old tweets. https://t.co/xAv4Pp8f2H
