Dem. Mayor brings up “Climate Justice” – gets reminded of lawlessness in his city
DC Trends ^ | 1-16-2021 | Frank Bojazi

Philadelphia’s Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney posted about climate change and climate justice on a Twitter post, but that’s when others reminded him of the harsh reality in his city – the actual crime and lawlessness that allowed Philadelphia to record 502 homicides in 2020, the highest number since dating back to 1960.

Mayor Kenney posted this message, saying “Climate change is real and it’s hurting our residents—particularly people of color and low income and working-class residents. We must do our part to achieve climate justice and ensure everyone benefits from a healthy environment for generations to come,” and it wasn’t long until the comments were popping off and sending him their two cents on crime, progressive measures, and other topics.

Kenney is also the mayor who said Trump should just accept that he lost the election, as seen on this video right here.

When you let the city go, give it over to the drug lords and the homeless, you increase murders and crime. The city is lost

14 Jan: Business Insider: A polar vortex is bringing a cold snap to Europe and Asia – and stoking a huge rally in natural gas prices
by Amanda Cooper
Natural gas prices in Europe and Asia have rocketed higher this week, thanks to the polar vortex pushing cold fronts into both regions, sending temperatures below freezing and stoking a burst in demand for power generation and heating...

This year, the cold front is forecast to move down from northern Russia, all the way through eastern Europe to the Mediterranean. The weather in parts of Europe has already been extreme, with the Spanish capital of Madrid paralysed after the heaviest snowfall in 50 years this week...
“Frigid temperatures in Asia and Europe in the face of LNG supply issues have led to a surge in local gas prices,” Goldman Sachs said in a note on Wednesday...

“The Beast from the East,” as the phenomenon is known, last struck in Europe in late 2017 and into 2018. It has driven natural gas prices to record highs, while Dutch gas prices rose by as much as 40% at one point this week...

So the thrill of control through Covid-19 fear mongering has now switched to Climate Crisis. OK mayor, you and your many government workers give up your limos and private vehicles and take public transportation and lead the way for us.

If the lefties really cared about the climate they would turn off the electricity in their homes.

Anything else is just virtue signaling and posturing.

How are all those poor Black Folk going to be able to afford a Tesla when EV’s are Mandated by our Moronic Government?

I guess the Taxpayers will have to fund giving everyone a “free” EV. We can all be Oprah now.

Then thy have to figure out how all those poor Black Folk can pay their ridiculously high “Green Energy” Electric Bills.

“What the hell is climate justice??“

It’s them saying that white people using petroleum products are destroying the environment and poor non white people suffer when some weather event happens .
Convoluted fact twisting to try yet another way to play the victim card.

If this idiot mayor really gives a sh*t about the environment he can start by dealing with the drug and the homeless problems. Streets, sidewalks etc polluted with used needles and homeless crapping wherever they want surely has a deleterious effect on our fragile eco system. You, know, like, think globally, ACT LOCALLY and stuff....
