Sen. Elizabeth Warren is taking Democratic efforts to combat climate change one step further, releasing a plan on Wednesday that would address “environmental racism.”

The $1.5 trillion plan would more heavily invest in low-income and minority communities in the form of job-training programs and technologies.

“Our crisis of environmental injustice is the result of decades of discrimination and environmental racism compounding in communities that have been overlooked for too long,” according to the new plan.

“The same communities that have borne the brunt of industrial pollution are now on the front lines of climate change, often getting hit first and worst,” she wrote, arguing that it’s a “result of multiple choices that put corporate profits before people, while our government looked the other way.”

She added: “It is unacceptable, and it must change.”

OFFS! Srsly? More dimokkkommies made up crap? Or is she talking about the coal towns in WV where a LOT of white folks lived and were subjected to lots of pollutants? Probably not. Then again, climate change. Yeah, every second of the day it changes. Us having any control? Uh, we ain't that special.

“Environmental Racism” is just their way of saying that everything Whitey does or says, or doesn’t do or doesn’t say, is racist.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She has been a Senator for quite some time now. Why didn’t she do it already?

Does she know that the President doesn’t write and pass laws?

Is that a new Orwellian newspeak term ‘environmental racism’? Utter lunacy from your discombobulated leftards.

So now the Democrats are essentially using the punchline from the old joke: “... and the headline of the NYTs read ‘God says world to end tomorrrow: women and minorities hardest hit!’” as the guideline for their future policies....

Everything comes around full circle. This fake Injun (is that racist?) is the “senior senator” from MA. Boston. The City on the Hill. Headquarters of the Revolution.

The Revolution Happens Here. The Spirit of ‘76.

Climate Change indeed.

Yes, and the only solution to this saturating racism by Whitey is to take all of the money Whitey can earn, and give it to some victim population.

Because: Social Justice

Crazy "Bernie" Sen. Elizabeth Warren is taking the Democrat and communist UN hoax to use climate change to subjugate the world with totalitarian rule.

Climate change is caused by the Sun. The Sun is NOT racist.

I seriously doubt that Elizabeth Warren would ever permit an even sided debate on the causes of climate change. She has decided that you are the cause, and you must be punished.

Being a Senator isn’t about working or doing but about appearing to do just enough stuff to get re-elected one third as often as members of the House of Representatives.

... or long enough to entertain presidential ambitions even though you’re a Left wing nitwit whose only accomplishment is mismanaging a fund meant to improve education in Chicago ... same difference,
