Why The Climate Conversation Is Untethered From Reality

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Liberty Oilfield Services CEO Chris Wright joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss his viral video calling out North Face for its hypocrisy on petroleum use in its products and how the dialogue on energy is tainted by climate alarmism.

“North Face caters great gear to some of the best athletes on the planet to climb and adventure. All that’s just simply impossible without oil and gas,” Wright said.

Think of these great climbing crews they bring to Antarctica. How do you get to Antarctica and go climb in Antarctica, you know, without flying on airplanes, again, bringing a bunch of gas with you to burn to create water and food? You’re all in clothes made out of oil and gas, your tents are made out of oil and gas. So to me, it’s a combination of wealth, materials, and portable energy that enable these.
