CNBC’s Climate Desk Melts Away

CNBC has ‘dismantled its climate desk’ and will no longer have staff dedicated to covering the topic – posing a potential blow to the Democrat party’s various ‘green’ schemes, including their so-called Green New Deal.

“CNBC has dismantled its climate desk and will no longer have staff dedicated to covering climate change,” wrote Bloomberg‘s Akshat Rathi, posting a link to now-former CNBC climate innovation and tech reporter’s announcement on X, which reads:
