Joe Biden would be a disaster for climate change
The Guardian via Yahoo! News ^ | May 13, 2019 | by Kate Aronoff

Last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) called for “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society” to avert full blown climate catastrophe. It’s not too late to stave off the worst impacts, they urged – indeed, it’s “possible within the laws of physics and chemistry”. But we need to act fast.

Presidential candidate Joe Biden, 79, seems to have a very different understanding of the climate crisis than the world’s leading climate scientists. Several top advisers to the former vice-president previewed his “middle of the road” plan on the issue for Reuters on Friday.

As out of touch as they are with the scale of the climate challenge, Biden’s industry-friendly plans aren’t surprising. In a video announcing his White House bid, Biden painted Donald Trump’s presidency as an aberration. His promise? Get the country back to business as usual. Presumably, that also means the business of digging up and and burning as many fossil fuels as humanly possible.

“Middle Class Joe” may well believe that the climate crisis poses an existential threat, which is more than can be said of the current administration. If his climate plan is to get us back to 2016, he’s not any more in touch with reality than they are.

That’s fine. That’s a plus for Plugs. But I still won’t vote for him.

Only if child groping is added to the list of greenhouse gasses.

Its clear that the far left is very unhappy with the prospect of Biden being the Democratic nominee. The core of Democratic Party primary voters are the left progressives. Suspect that given the proportional assignment of delegates Bernie, Mayor Joe, Harris and Biden will arrive at the convention with roughly the same numbers, Biden with the most but not enough for nomination on the first ballot. Very well may have a brokered convention and a surprise nominee. Get ready for an odd selection.

Sit down Joe.

Who will be the chosen of Obama?

Old white man Bernie?

Hmmmmm.

I am going with Kamala being that magic god of identity politics.

I can very well see a brokered convention. All by design. And the surprise nominee?

Yep, given the obvious law breaking throughout her creer it only makes sense she will attempt to "save" The Party by destroying it unless they crown her again.

Hillary and the DNC conspired and colluded to eliminate Bernie’s campaign in 2016.

It was a walk in the park. And while Hillary is older than dirt and nearly dead, don’t think for a minute she won’t do it again in 2020.

“Joe Biden would be a disaster for climate change”

Although old Joe has been lying professionally his whole adult life, he lacks the supreme expertise needed to peddle a bag of crap this big.

All this BS is part of the effort to paint Groping Joe as the reasonable centrist to help him the general and it’s a lie:

Yes, but that doesn't distinguish him from the other Democrats.

HRC will ride into the Convention on her somewhat tarnished white horse to save the Republic. Donations to the Clinton Foundation suddenly will increase, Bill will measure the WH guest bedroom for drapes. All will be right with the world until Trump wins again. Then the 24/7/365 collusion network will be back with the next chapter of Trumpgate.

Joe has really brought out the drama queens in force. He'll stay in the race, win the nomination, lose the election, retire, and most people on the Demwit side of the aisle will calm the **** down.

What is Biden’s real age? I thought he was 77, not 79.
