Project 2025's Kevin Roberts to speak at New York Times' Climate Week NYC event

You know, the guy who wants to DRILL everything.

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 world’s most engaged climate voices as part of a community focused on change.” The event’s 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.

What? Kevin Robert’s?
The guy whose #Project2025 manifesto completely abolishes NOAA, climate research, & all environmental regulations so corporations are free to poison air, water & earth in the name of profit?

The @nytimes
has officially gone 100% to the dark side.
