At a campaign event in Keokuk, Iowa on the morning he officially announced his run for the Democratic presidential nomination, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke strongly endorsed the Green New Deal, saying: "Not to be dramatic, but literally, the future of the world depends on us right now here where we are."

"This is the final chance," O'Rourke said. "The scientists are unanimous on this. We have no more than 12 years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis."

UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of ″eco- refugees,′ ′ threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP. He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

“The scientists are unanimous on this. We have no more than 12 years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis.” .................... Bolderdash!! Its like we only have 10 years of fossil fuel left, as we were told circa 1973. We aren’t the world’s #1 polluters, there are 8B more out there vs. 350M?

You know, since Trump is going to be president for the next six years, that means they only really have six years to save the whole planet! In the meantime, the commies will try to extract as much money out of the little people as they possibly can with their fear mongering, BS, crazy ideas.

Only stupid people agree with them.

Beto/AOC 2020! /extreme sarc

Of course the future of the world depends on us. Some among us WANT a future, while others want to foreclose on EVER having a future.

The Green New Deal is a watermelon, just another attempt to call something “green”, while concealing the Red that is inside it. No matter how many times it is rebooted and attempted, socialism has never succeeded beyond a very short time - about the time all the gains built up through capitalism have been completely squandered and dispersed to no positive effect. Oh, for a few years, there is a lot to be “distributed”, but then, tearing down a modern manufacturing facility, and handing out the bricks and the various parts of the assembly line to each individual ends up with not much of anything to use for building anything NEW, unless all these little parts are again confiscated from whom they had just been distributed, at gunpoint if necessary, and a ministry is set up to operate the reconstructed industrial complex. But because the economics is based on command and not a reliable market demand, the enterprise, without a valid reason to even exist, is doomed to again fail.

Why do people use ‘democratic instead of democrat’ describing the democrats? Isn’t it the democrat party? Which is correct?
