Former Trump ambassador Carla Sands, now a key player in Donald Trump’s inner circle, has stirred controversy by claiming children are being “brainwashed” into suicide over fears of climate change. Speaking at an America First Policy Institute event, Sands alleged, “Kids are killing themselves to save the planet,” as she railed against environmental policies and climate legislation.
While there is no evidence to support such claims, her remarks have resurfaced as the 2024 election looms, raising questions about the role conspiracy theories will play in Trump’s potential return to power. Sands, a staunch opponent of Biden’s climate policies, could play a significant role in shaping future environmental strategies, sparking alarm among climate advocates.
Her statements, including wild accusations about urban planning and global warming denial, reflect growing concerns over the influence of extreme climate skepticism in the U.S. political landscape.
