Tuesday night Democrat money man Tom Steyer attended the 2014 Greenbuild conference with Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley. Despite warning of the dangers climate change poses to the planet, the two men left in a Chevrolet Suburban. For this offense, Watchdog.org has mockingly labeled them "climate sinners."
Forgive them, Al Gore, for they have sinned.
Just minutes after extolling the virtues of green living to thousands gathered in the Superdome in New Orleans, climate change pals Tom Steyer, a hedge fund billionaire, and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley left the confab in the least environmentally friendly vehicle possible—a Chevrolet Suburban.
Steyer, the man pouring money into the 2014 election, and O’Malley, a possible presidential pick in 2016, spent Wednesday night in the Big Easy discussing politics and climate change at the 2014 Greenbuild conference, with both men stressing the need to continually educate the public about the need for aggressive action on climate change.
They may have even tried to hide their climate transgression.
The pair, or the security detail handling travel, may not have been too comfortable being seen jumping in the gas-guzzler. Originally, the driver parked the truck near one of the dome’s exit doors, waiting to whisk away the two politicos. Seeing cameras rolling, the duo’s security chief asked Superdome staffers to close the main garage door to obscure the view.
The driver also backed the vehicle away from the exit, again to shield the view.
