Daily Caller features CFACT’s Morano in warmist climate documentary

By: Admin - Climate Depot April 21, 2022

By Adam Houser

The Daily Caller has premiered a new climate change documentary titled “The Conservative Climate Conundrum.” The film features Benji Backer, president of the American Conservation Coalition (ACC), who according to the Daily Caller, “interviews both climate scientists and climate change deniers to understand what climate science actually says and why that matters for conservatives.”

One of the “deniers” the Daily Caller references is CFACT’s own Marc Morano, editor of Climate Depot, who sat down for an extensive } with Backer. The film represents a pivot for the :{:{Daily Caller}::{, which is traditionally considered a conservative-leaning website. It is surprising to see that the }::{Daily Caller}::{ used the phrase “climate change deniers.” Even the AP no longer uses that insulting term. }:See here.

Backer has been featured on CNN and other media outlets for wanting to convince the Republican Party and conservatives to adopt a more alarmist view on climate change. He was also invited to testify before Congress beside Greta Thunberg on climate change where he thanked Greta for her activism.

CFACT posted excerpts from Morano’s interview with Backer for the documentary.

evil not wr:

benji Backer is an environmentalist activist who associates with the Republican Party politically. He is the founder and president of American Conservation Coalition (ACC), a nominally right-leaning environmentalist organization with financial ties to left-wing environmentalist groups.

American Conservation Coalition

In 2017, Backer and other conservative students at the University of Washington started the American Conservation Coalition to advocate for market-based approaches to environmental regulation. The organization works on 220 college campuses across the country. [1] [2] Backer has said that the ACC was founded to give “conservatives a voice” on environmental issues. [3] Critics from the right have pointed out that ACC has taken funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, a left-of-center grantmaking organization. [4]

Backer and the ACC support pro-business policies and Backer has said that public-private partnerships are the most effective means of addressing climate change and promoting renewable energies. [5] He has promoted the ACC’s America Climate Contract, which is a conservative alternative to the Green New Deal, which he considers to be unrealistic. [6]

Backer testified in September 2019 to a joint hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy, and the Environment and the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. [7] Left-wing climate activists like Greta Thunberg also testified at the hearing. [8]

In September 2020, during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, Backer said, “If President Trump wants to get my vote, he’s going to have to prioritize climate change in a way that he has not done over the past four years.” [9] In January 2021, Backer said he looked forward to working with the Biden administration so conservatives and Republicans would have a seat at the table on climate change issues. [10]

In March 2021, Backer co-wrote an op-ed in the Washington Examiner with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), and Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR). They wrote that the supposed trade-off between a clean environment and healthy economy was a false choice and noted the Republican Party’s long history on environmental issues, including establishing the Environmental Protection Agency and President Teddy Roosevelt’s conservation legacy. [11]

Political Activities

Backer volunteered for Republican political campaigns in Wisconsin before he was old enough to vote. [12] He first became involved in politics by campaigning for 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) at the age of 10. [13]

Backer was the co-chairman of Young Americans for Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential election[14] and made more than 22,000 phone calls as a Republican volunteer. [15]

Backer has been a commentator for several national media outlets, including CNBC, Fox News, The Hill, Washington Examiner, Townhall, and The Independent. He was a speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2014 and 2016. [16] [17]

Backer was on the Forbes magazine “30 Under 30” list in 2019, as well as the 30-under-30 lists of GreenBiz and Red Alert. [18] ABC News named him one of the “5 youth climate activists you need to know.” [19]

Backer sits on the board of the Mainstream Republicans of Washington and is a member of the Wisconsin Conservative Energy Forum’s Leadership Council. [20] [21] He is a 2020 graduate of the University of Washington and grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin. [22] [23]

[1] WICEF is also tied to the lobbying firm the Capitol Group, LLC, and includes the firm’s partners Michelle Kussow and Brandon Scholz on their team. [2]

WICEF focuses on persuading Republican lawmakers to support environmentalist energy technologies like wind and solar. [3] The organization cites no specific policy issues, and instead uses conservative-sounding arguments like cost effectiveness, job creation, and economic development, to advocate for support for environmentalist energy sources. [4]

Members of WICEF’s leadership council include activist Benji Backer, founder of the American Conservation Coalition (ACC), and former Republican Governor of Wisconsin Tommy Thompson. [5]

Non-Specific Policy

[8]

Funding

WICEF is funded by the Conservative Energy Network (CEN), a non-profit network launched in 2016. [9] The organization states that it was created “by conservatives, for conservatives,” in order to connect state-based conservative-environmentalist energy organizations with each other. [10]

CEN receives substantial funding from left-of-center foundations, including $339,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund between 2017 and 2019,[11] $200,000 from the McKnight Foundation in 2017,[12] and $200,000 from the Turner Foundation in 2018 and 2019. [13]
