The New York Times announced the speakers for its September 25 Climate Week NYC discussion, an annual event coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly session in New York City that promises to bring together some of the worlds most engaged climate voices as part of a community focused on change. The events lineup notably includes Kevin Roberts, the president of right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation who has led the Project 2025 initiative the controversial conservative transition plan of policy and staffing proposals for a potential second Trump presidency.
As you can imagine, this is NOT going well on Twitter.
