A vote for Flint is a vote against Trump

Republican candidate for U.S. House Aaron Flint’s endorsers – Gov. Greg Gianforte, Sens. Steve Daines and Tim Sheehy, and Congressmen Ryan Zinke and Troy Downing – have one thing in common. They all supported Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen’s deliberate loss of the Held v. Montana climate lawsuit in June 2023.

Flint’s claim that President Trump endorses him is dishonest. That endorsement is by Zinke and Daines, who have Trump’s ear.

Knudsen’s deliberate loss of Held v. Montana completed the fracture in Montana’s Republican party. The World Economic Forum needed Montana to lose the case so that it could continue its plan to control America by 2030.

Daines and Sheehy lied to you when they told you that Knudsen lost because the judge was a liberal. The judge properly ruled on the evidence presented in court. Montana lost because Knudsen presented no evidence on the defense’s behalf.

Flint’s endorsers are Republican traitors. Cicero wrote, “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.”

Knudsen stipulated at the start of the trial that Montana agreed with the plaintiffs’ “consensus” claim that our carbon dioxide emissions caused the plaintiffs’ claimed damages.

Knudsen’s stipulation contradicted the scientific method, which is taught even in law schools. Its relevant principles include (a) consensus does not prove truth, (b) it is impossible to prove an assumption is true and (c) one proof that an assumption is false is conclusive.

Knudsen did not challenge any of the plaintiff’s witnesses. Knudsen did not identify, as he should have, the three core assumptions that underpin Held v. Montana and all climate laws, regulations, taxes and beliefs. They are:

Human CO2 causes the dominant increase in atmospheric CO2.

The CO2 increase causes global warming.

Global warming causes bad stuff to happen.

Other scientists and I have proved that assumptions one and two are false. This checkmates the scientific case for human-caused climate change.

In April 2022, Knudsen’s team invited other climate scientists to serve as expert witnesses. One replied by recommending that they hire me instead and cc’d me on his email.

This led to a phone call from Knudsen’s contract attorney, who told me that Montana did not allow her to contract with me or pay me. Montana had secretly censored me to prevent me from helping the state defeat Held v. Montana.

Nevertheless, she gave me the opportunity to review and comment on the lawsuit. Held v. Montana is a word-for-word copy of the 2011 climate lawsuit that I defeated in the Montana Supreme Court.

In May 2022, an assistant attorney general, who had not received the memo that I was censored, liked what I wrote and began signing me up as an expert.

However, at the Pachyderm meeting on June 3, 2022, a person I thought was my friend learned of my participation and became very angry. When I returned to my office, I found that Knudsen had cut off all my communications with his office.

Flint’s profession is speaking, so he is good at that. But he is not good at making critical decisions. He has aligned himself with elected officials who, like the Democrats, believe assumptions one and two are true.

Flint’s endorsers also pose a threat to Trump’s climate agenda.

Trump’s climate report assumes one and two are true. But Trump must prove in a pending climate lawsuit that they are false.

Trump administration hired globalist Steven Koonin, President Obama’s undersecretary of science, to lead the report and other “Fauci” scientists to help write it. To save his climate policies, Trump must reject the report, fire its scientists and hire scientists who have published proof that these two assumptions are false.

Dr. Al Olszewski is a physician who knows how to make critical decisions, including climate decisions. He bought a copy of my book in 2020 and he supports climate truth.
