A “big step forward”? Not so fast.

Minutes later, Rep. Grimm’s impending indictment was reported:

The science is settled: OFA has incredible timing:

Confirmed by Grimm’s attorney, according to Politico:

Politico reports that the Justice Department has been investigating Grimm for alleged campaign finance violations. What are the odds that OFA will blame climate change?
