Tell the New York Times: No Room for Project 2025 at Climate Week event
The New York Times Climate Forward event

Kevin Roberts is the President of the Heritage Foundation, which led US climate denial efforts in the US from 1997-2013.
More recently, Heritage has been famous for leading the “delay is the new denial” tactics called out by climate hawks Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Jamie Raskin at a recent hearing on the history of climate denial, delay, and damages.
And just in the last few weeks, Kevin Roberts has been claiming credit for Project 2025 - the notorious 900-page plan developed for Donald Trump to seize power and remake America in his own image.
Project 2025 proposes gutting the Environmental Protection Agency and climate regulations; re-opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling; defunding the nationwide transition to renewable energy; and eliminating environmental justice initiatives. In addition, political appointees serving under Trump “will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere.”

Dear New York Times events staff and climate reporters,
The undersigned readers and supporters were disappointed to see that your “Climate Forward” event on September 25, which is described as “a day of live journalism, dedicated to understanding our rapidly warming world,” will provide a speaking opportunity to Kevin Roberts, the President of the Heritage Foundation and a lead author of Project 2025.
As you should know from the Times’ own reporting, the Heritage Foundation led US climate denial from 1997-2013 as a founder of the “cooler heads” campaign. More recently, Roberts and the Heritage Foundation have been using a strategy dubbed “delay is the new denial” at a recent Congressional hearing chaired by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Jamie Raskin. And just in the last few weeks, Kevin Roberts has been claiming credit for Project 2025 - the notorious 900-page plan developed for Donald Trump to seize power and remake America in his own image.
Project 2025 proposes gutting the Environmental Protection Agency and climate regulations; re-opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for drilling; defunding the nationwide transition to renewable energy; and eliminating environmental justice initiatives. In addition, in a video explaining the document a Heritage staffer said political appointees serving under Trump “will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere.”
You must disinvite Project 2025 author, Heritage Foundation President, and professional climate denier Kevin Roberts from your climate week event.
