On May 18, Washington’s Gov. Jay Inslee released a 38-page document which systematically translates the GND’s lofty goals...

I'm pretty sure Autocorrect changed that from 'lefty'.

I get the loot confiscation angle. Greedy radicals will always exist. What I don't understand is why the kooks can't SHOW everyone what the planet would look like after the New Green Scam is enacted. Total Grizzly Adams eating nothing but tree bark, no Starbucks within 5000 miles, and the elimination of every internal combustion engine.

Show us deniers how to do it. Or is that just another aspect of the scam?

The best part of this screed is that it’s just chockfull of numbers and citations that sound authoritative, but almost certainly result from methodology that is questionable at best (I think back to the IPCC report about 10 or 15 years ago that told us the Himalayan glaciers would be gone in 25 years - total bull-pucky, pulled out of someone’s posterior).

My favorite: “Canada passed a carbon tax that will give most people more money” Right: a piece of legislation is going to create wealth (and distribute it!) in and of itself. I can’t wait for Canada to pass a law giving us a perpetual motion machine that will make this whole controversy moot.

This nonsense has significant economic consequences even when there is no overt government action. Take a good look at the auto industry and be very, very reluctant to invest your hard earned money in that industry. The major auto manufacturers have replaced solid market research with policies rooted in political correctness and pseudoscience. They have invested as an industry hundreds of billions of capital into the researching, developing the technology and infrastructure and the production of electric vehicles. Unfortunately most consumers prefer and will only buy cars and trucks that feature the reliability and convenience of the internal combustion engine. electric vehicles sit unsold or are sold at money losing discounts. The huge investment these companies have made is returning nothing on investment. The debts remain. The dead money is squandered capital that will drag the auto industry down for a very long time. Be very careful where you invest.

This would be only fair, since those mega-corporations have spent over $2 billion of the past decades to clandestinely spread lies about saying global warming didn’t exist, then that it wasn’t man-made, etc. even as their own scientists were warning them about the existential dangers continuing use of their products would create

When the flawed hypothesis of 'man-made global warming' was first discussed in public hearings and 'mega-big-oil corporations' were were named as the existential danger, corporate leaders met to discuss the issue and untangle facts from 'science' 'fiction'.

They looked at the alleged evidence and formed their own conclusions.

There was nothing nefarious. They simply discussed the issue.

The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines released more green house gasses in one eruption than the whole industrial revolution.

I look to the “Deadliest Catch” for my take on what global temperatures are doing. This year show, based on the winter of 2019, said that in the Bering Sea had some of the coldest weather in years and that the ice pack came further south than it has in years.

Thank you President Trump for making it cold again in Alaska!

Sure. Let’s destroy the industries. Then we can all go and search for food in the forest, because there won’t be any jobs.

The last 2 bullets on the Green New Deal prove it is all a farce. If they really believed that the world was ending, you don’t tack on universal healthcare and “living wage” demands. You just decarbonize the economy and save everyone’s lives.

We can see the same evidence in the policy details elsewhere. If you really think sea levels will rise catastrophically, why haven’t you changed the flood insurance program to ban rebuilding within 10 feet of sea level?

Now that the rain is ending the idiots here in NorCal are back to repeating the meme: Climate Change Climate Change Climate Change...

They’re like zombies. The winter was one of the wettest ever and the snowpack is at 160% or more....Squaw Valley had 700+ inches of snow. There is NO drought in CA. KSFO is playing sound bites from 2013 with idiots talking about how the reservoirs would never again have water levels as high as they did then. Now the same reservoirs are on overflow watch. Le Deluge is imminent.

Meanwhile, up in Wino Land, the cheese eaters are droning “Climate Change!” with wide terrified eyes.

Yeah. It’s climate change right about now...usually called “summertime”.
