Talk about tone deaf. CBS This Morning on Thursday attempted to report the upside to a global pandemic that is killing thousands. Correspondent Vladimir Duthiers, reporting from his home because of the virus, cheered, “Let's talk to you about Italy. Obviously that country, its people have been devastated by the coronavirus. But there is a little bit of a silver lining in some of its historic cities. This is Venice.... You can never see the waters because they're so murky from all the boats.”
He continued, “Now you can see the crystal-clear waters of the Venice canals. You can see fish swimming around in the canals. That’s pretty amazing, pretty remarkable for those of you who have visited Venice.”
Not willing to stop there, Duthiers kept digging, “This is a map, a satellite map showing you the level of pollution that has gone away the past three months because of the reduction of emissions across northern Italy.” The current death toll in Italy is 3,000 people. The overall death toll worldwide is around 10,000. But, hey, slightly less pollution.
The cringe-inducing report came to an end with this: “So, there is a bit of a silver lining even though our hearts go out to our world citizens going through this world pandemic in Italy.”

Barry 0bummer’s butt-buy pal, Billy Bob Ayers, wants 25,000,000 Americans dead. Can you imagine how much less pollution we’d have if that commie/fascist bastard got his hands on any power?
I think this crisis and economic turmoil will be the end of the Green New Deal. And many other foolish initiatives like it. People will be in survival mode for many months, and this green consciousness will make most people angry. ‘I’m worried about keeping food on the table and you’re worried about polar bears and plastic straws?! And you want me to give up my pickup truck for a Prius?’
If Biden brings this up in 2020, people will laugh at him. He will lose votes every time he talks about green energy.
See? I could rum CNN on even my worst day.
When the green new deal refers to what just got coughed up out of your lungs, carbon prints ain’t such a bother......
