A 'climate corps' is core to many 2020 Democrats' environmental plans (50,000 millennial volunteers)

WASHINGTON - Democrats running for president on promises to slow climate change are asking young people to do more than just vote for them. Many White House hopefuls are laying out plans to put teenagers and 20-somethings to work guarding the country against the worst effects of global warming.

Core to a number of Democrats' climate plans is the creation of a "climate corps." Akin to the Peace Corps launched in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy as a soft-power check against Russia, a climate-focused national service program would tackle what many presidential candidates see as this generation's greatest challenge by putting young Americans to work planting trees, restoring wetlands and aiding victims of natural disasters.

**SNIP**

Inspired by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal-era work-relief program, Booker's proposed Agriculture Department program would train, house and deploy youths from low-income and minority communities during two-year stints in the restoration of U.S. forests and wetlands.

The aim of Booker's bill is to plant more than 4 billion trees by 2030 and 15 billion trees by 2050 across federal, state, tribal and private lands in an effort to restore wildlife habitat and sequester climate-warming carbon from the atmosphere. The plan calls for more than 50,000 young people to be enrolled in the corps by 2027 and assist them in finding jobs after completion.

This is another attempt by the Lefties to get hired thugs to do their dirty work...with taxpayer money. If Delaney and the rest of the crew in the clown car get their way, there will be hundreds of thousands of these “volunteers” to put solar panels on roofs in the morning and march to protests in the afternoon.

In prehistoric times CO2 was times of what it is now and life flourished.

Yes exactly! The first thing I thought of when I read this is Triumph of the Will. The first half of that movie is basically a how-to on building a large military-ready force under the guise of public works projects. They would even give all the men shovels and train them to parade them as rifles.

This ‘climate corps’ is nothing less than a Nazi program from 1934. I wouldn’t poopoo it.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

I also know some great ambitious young folks. They really stand out among their peers. The young folks in rural areas are not afraid to get their hands dirty. There are great opportunities, fortunes, and satisfaction for them in their futures. I do what I can to make them smarter than I was at their age.

Brush hog and heavy equipment... tells me the kid is not urban or even suburban, where the majority of kids come from.

I work with kids from around the country every day. When hiring I look for kids that have had construction experience or came from farms. The only ones worth a d... But that's just my opinion.

Lately I’ve been pondering how things going South in the cities might affect us out here in rural America.

I think I have my answer.

And it worked so well for Soviet Russia, Communist China, Nazi Germany, Cambodia...
