Ferguson Buried 86% Climate Data Error For Weeks WA Paid Higher Gas Prices
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Washington State's Department of Ecology discovered their cap-and-trade emissions numbers were off by a staggering 86% — and were ready to issue a correction. Governor Bob Ferguson's office said no. Axios is now reporting that Ferguson's team sat on that correction for weeks, raising serious questions about why a governor who tightly controls state communications decided the public could just wait.The error isn't trivial. The Climate Commitment Act's entire policy premise rests on accurate emissions data — and Washington drivers have been paying some of the highest gas prices in the nation tied directly to those projections. When it took a Washington Policy Center analyst flagging that the math simply doesn't math to surface this, that's not a communications hiccup. That's an executive-level transparency failure with a real cost to every driver at the pump.Sean draws a pointed parallel to the Bite of Seattle shooting incident, where authorities waited five hours to warn the public about an active shooter — reportedly while holding for dignitaries to clear the venue. Two separate delays, same instinct: control the narrative first, inform the public second. Whether it's a murderer on the loose or an 86% error in your marquee climate law, the pattern around Big Bob is getting hard to ignore.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily news commentary that cuts through the noise — and hit the notification bell so you never miss a scoop.#NFRP #BobFerguson #WashingtonState𝗚𝗢 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗨𝗠 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘+ 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ 𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗛 - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗡 our 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 Discord Community!
