“Mr. Fiorillo does not want to focus on the arguments but relies on ad hominem and an appeal to authority. Actually, the case against climate alarmism is strong, and the economic/environmental waste of wind/solar/batteries is an open secret.” (- Bradley to Fiorillo, below)
Manfredi Fiorillo–Senior Manager at KPMG | Sustainability, Climate, Circular Economy–commented:
Dear Rob, You have been very active in the comments under my network’s climate posts, and your position is clear.
