Burlington Mayor Steve Sexton accused Gov. Jay Inslee of using the economic shutdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to promote "his climate change agenda," in a letter written Friday.
Sexton, referencing a May 13 interview Inslee had with Sen. Bernie Sanders on the effects of climate change, said he objected to Inslee's characterization of the pandemic as an opportunity to re-create the state's economy to be more environmentally friendly.
In the interview, Inslee said as states take steps to rebuild their economies they should take the opportunity to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and invest in green energy.
"We have to recognize the necessity of this moment," he said. "This will allow us to rebuild our economy."
Inslee pushed back against critics who say the pandemic shouldn't be used to further political agendas, saying government has to recognize this as the opportunity that it is.
"We can't use COVID as an excuse for inaction on climate change," he said.
Sexton said elected officials confronting COVID-19 in Washington should be focused solely on protecting the health of state residents, and reopening the economy safely.
"To me, there's no room in the conversation for any other agenda," he said. "To hear him call it an opportunity, it pissed me off."

Eliminating greenhouse gases is expensive. We can’t afford it. We’re broke.
Yes if covid doesnt kill us all, you know they ran computer models after all, then climate change will.
Fact is the very same demos, except the very young, are the same ones most often targeted by the flu viruses. The breakdowns of the deaths confirm it. The large vast majority of people that die or have serious consequences from this are the elderly.
Everyone else may get it but the case breakdowns show its not going to kill or permanently damage hardly any of them.
Any CO2 issues are between Inslee’s ears. Or maybe too much vacuum.
Not that he’d be any smarter or have any more common sense if he had less of either or both.
why the elderly? weaker immune systems that allow the disease to get a deeper foothold, and they are mostl likely to have other existing health problems.
immature immune systems is not the same as weakened immune systems
The only climate change he needs to heed people about is hell in the hereafter. And also if he reads his Bible, he knows God is going to literally destroy heaven and earth.
(2 Peter 3:11-13) Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
(Revelation 21:1) Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth, ”for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
And then there is this article I received today that needs to be shared with Inslee.
Solar Minimum Could Bring Drastic Changes To Our Planet

Even the New York Post is quoted in the article . . . .
“And here is what the New York Post is saying...
Our sun has gone into lockdown, which could cause freezing weather, earthquakes and famine, scientists say.
The sun is currently in a period of “solar minimum,” meaning activity on its surface has fallen dramatically.
Experts believe we are about to enter the deepest period of sunshine “recession” ever recorded as sunspots have virtually disappeared.
Yes, covering COVID-19 is important, but the fact that scientists are warning that we are potentially facing “freezing weather, earthquakes and famine” should be deeply alarming for all of us.
And since the mainstream media has been largely silent on this crisis, most Americans don’t even know that it exists.
Last year, there were no sunspots at all 77 percent of the time, and so far this year there have been no sunspots at all 76 percent of the time...
“This is a sign that solar minimum is underway,” reads SpaceWeather.com. “So far this year, the Sun has been blank 76% of the time, a rate surpassed only once before in the Space Age. Last year, 2019, the Sun was blank 77% of the time. Two consecutive years of record-setting spotlessness adds up to a very deep solar minimum, indeed.”
