Reporter Audrey Streb discusses joining the White House press pool for The Lion, aiming to ask energy-focused questions. Drawing on her work at the Daily Caller News Foundation, she argues corporate media fuels “climate doomsday” coverage by spotlighting supportive studies and ignoring contrary ones, and she outlines tactics like calling out bad data, highlighting underplayed leads, and framing stories for readers. She cites reporting on retracted climate research, sea-level findings, China’s coal use and its comments on EPA rule rollbacks, and national-security risks from Chinese solar inverters. Her questioning of EPA Administrator Zeldin helped spur Sen. Cynthia Lummis’ bill to block foreign adversaries from commenting on U.S. rulemaking. She also mentions Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund scrutiny, climate litigation “lawfare,” and trade-offs in wind/solar.
