“They are doubling down on this criminal scam.”
And we should call them out on it.

It's likely the most ambitious pledge to fight climate change put forward this election cycle, even if right now, it's a symbolic gesture aimed at drawing attention to climate policy during the high season of presidential campaigning. Really? You have to label it 'symbolic' when the pledge is to reduce 100% within 10 years and you say this WITHOUT a '/sarc' tag?!?
I guess that they need to as the Democrats are VERY GOOD with symbolism! But reality and complex interactions with multiple variables ... eh, not so much! And, pray tell, how are you going to convince the 3rd & 4th world peoples that they need to stop burning EVERYTHING!?! Good luck with that!

It's an interesting metaphor, and one that may draw on the hawkish inclinations of Americans... Thanks for the condescension, but no thanks. I'd just as soon sublimate those "hawkish" tendencies by stringing up a few eco-nazis myself. It'd be more productive.

I’ll sign up if the Mass Mobilization includes fighting warming kooks. It’s turned cold, cold, cold here (SF Peninsula) the past few days. Autumn and Winter are arriving right on schedule.

Absolutely!! The question is never asked — “What will you do? How much will it cost us? What do we have to give up to stop your (mythical) climate change?”
They will never say “We are going to cover 1/3 of the U.S. with windmills and solar plants which will wipe put most birds, bats, and insects. You are going to live in a hut with no heat or A/C. You will never own a private vehicle. All travel more than fifty miles from your birthplace is banned. Refrigeration is banned, so give up all pharmaceuticals. And, oh yeah, the population is ten times higher than we can support, so 90% of you please board those box cars over there.”

The single biggest effect on carbon dioxide reduction would be achieved by destroying steel smelters and electric power plants in China. Is that what they are advocating?

We have these FEMA camps available to put the climate change advocates in. They should be happy behind fences with armed guards, because that is what they wanted America to become.
Unless, of course, they are hypocrites.

Can’t help but think of how right Jonah Goldberg got it in his book Liberal Fascism. There’s something in the liberal psyche that craves centrally orchestrated mass action on a wartime scale.
