Jane Fonda says climate change is singularly vital issue after decades of activism: 'This is the future of the entire planet'
ABC "News" ^ | January 21, 2020 | By Zoe Lake

Posted on 01/23/2020 6:20:32 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

For every Friday of fall 2019, Jane Fonda was on Capitol Hill, protesting climate change alongside friends like Gloria Steinem and actresses Rosanna Arquette, Sally Field and Catherine Keener.

Fonda could spend her time in retirement, enjoying the fruits of an illustrious Hollywood career. Instead, on the eve of her 82nd birthday, she was led out of the Hart Senate Building in handcuffs. She had been arrested for civil disobedience.

Since September, Fonda says she’s “lost count” of how many times she’s been arrested. Since October, she had begun organizing weekly protests with the catchy nickname “Fire Drill Fridays.” She said she was inspired by activist Greta Thunberg, who every Friday since last year has been boycotting school to protest climate change.

Fonda acknowledges that climate activism can “seem overwhelming.”

“But here's the thing. In cities all over the country and states…they're all at the table figuring out what has to be done to reduce the carbon footprint of their particular city or state,” she said. “It's happening. It's just now it has to happen globally.”

Fonda believes that right now, “the most important thing is that all new fossil fuel expansion has to stop.”

“We can have windmills and solar panels and hydroelectric and all of those things. But if they keep drilling and keep emitting fossil fuel carbon dioxide, we're not gonna get there,” she said.

She reminds me of the Barbra Streisand character at the last encounter in The Way We Were, only more evil.

OK, Jane, then go to China and India and get them to stop their pollution first. Once that is done, we can evaluate the fossil fuel contributions of the West.

Attacking fossil fuels first is like banning matches when you discover your house is on fire. Your first action should be to call the fire department and stop the fire, not ban matches.

At least Climate Change Lunacy has a current and well known spokesperson. My 35 year old son has NO IDEA who she is.

“We can have windmills and solar panels and hydroelectric”

The first two don’t work, the second can’t get built anywhere.
Hanoi Jane is wrong again.

This Anti-American Demon Rat C_nt has been wrong about everything her entire life.

Diddling VC d_ck while our folks were dying in the field.

That her dried rotted corpse is not hanging from a rope, swinging in the breeze next to Hillary, is still an horrific affront to all that is decent in this world.

Climate Change is a fake issue that exists because the self-appointed "smart people" (politicians and the MSM) need something to distract attention from the fact that they haven't any answers to the big problems that ordinary people face in their daily lives.

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

—H.L. Mencken

I predict within five years, a lot of people will be buying electric cars. There, Jane, it wasn’t the gov’t that made us do, it was private enterprise.

I find it so interesting that so many from the various leftist groups all seem to be converging on support for the climate change dogma. Wind farms and solar and hydro? Sure! I’m for that too. But if you eliminate fossil fuels, you’re going to massively increase energy costs for everyone. Those in poverty will be hardest hit. Good luck paying that $975 electric bill each month.

So why do they all want it?
They’re all catching on that it’s a way to attack the United States and capitalist nations.
The lowest economic classes in those places be damned.
As commentors in this thread have already asked, why isn’t Jane or Greta going to China to attack fossil fuel use and pollution?
The obvious answer is that this has everything to do with geopolitics and no real intrinsic merit in itself.
