Democrats propose spending trillions fighting climate change
Associated Press ^ | September 4, 2019 | Juana Summers and Ellen Knickmeyer

Five Democratic presidential candidates in the span of 24 hours have released sweeping plans to address climate change, ahead of a series of town halls devoted to the issue.

On Wednesday, California Sen. Kamala Harris and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg each unveiled their climate plans. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Obama cabinet member Julián Castro each laid out theirs on Tuesday.

The flurry of plans comes ahead of a CNN town hall event on global warming, which 10 Democrats seeking the White House plan to attend. The forums come after liberals had demanded that the Democratic Party focus at least one debate on climate change, but a climate debate resolution was defeated at the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting last month. […]

Among Democrats seeking the presidency, there is little disagreement that climate change is a building disaster. Wednesday’s town halls will give candidates an opportunity to show the distinctions between their plans as the Democratic party’s base increasingly demands aggressive action.

Nationally, 72% of Democratic midterm voters said they were very concerned about the effects of climate change, and 20% were somewhat concerned. That’s according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 115,000 midterm voters nationwide. …

Democraps would rather throw away trillions than spend a tiny fraction of that on a wall that’s desperately needed to protect their fellow citizens. Hate ‘em.

I'll take some of that money, just 0.1% will do.
I will be no less effective than whatever else they plan to do.

Needless to say there will be crony corporations formed which will enrich their supporters.

Let’s not forget the aid we’ll also need to send to Scotland for finally harpooning the Loch Ness Monster. Let’s hope the Democrats will leave at least a little money out of the climate change budget to finally tackle that problem. It’s outrageous that this thing is still terrorizing locals and tourists.

Last figures I saw put CO2 at around 410 parts per million of the makeup of earth’s atmosphere.

What will the CO2 makeup be after 10 years or 20 years of the Dem’s plans?

I’m betting nobody will be able to get a specific estimate from the Dems, because realistically even reducing CO2 by 10 or 20 parts per million is a gigantic task, one near impossible because 3rd world countries, including India, Brazil, etc are exempt under international climate change treaties from CO2 goals.

Why not a debate about something serious, like killer asteroids?

Time to finish up that doctors degree, and start cozying up to as many Dim politicians to be looking for your corporation’s generous campaign(smile) contributions. Start now to polish that business plan for how your corporation will save the planet.

Better get in line now or be trampled in the stampede to get on the gravy train.

Once this gets to rolling there will never be anyone but a Dim elected.

Democrats propose looting trillions from the hardworking to give to their buddies in things like Soylandra etc. under the pretext of fighting non-existant man caused climate change. If anyone who works for a living votes Democrat they should seriously consider having themselves committed.
