My proposal would cost the federal government nothing: the emission of CO2 by a human-made device in California would be a federal crime effective 2050.

It’s as constitutional as the federal Clean Air Act.

Why don’t these eco-idiot nitwits merely fly to the sun at night, find its switch and turn it down a bit. Easy...peasy. Problem solved

Nothing but an excuse to tax us more. A “fee” is a tax. It is a cleverly disguised way to turn this country socialist.

Democrat Party continues is quest to commit self-political inflicted political suicide. SAD...but all of them 2020 Democrat POTUS candidates are 100% fully certified butt heads, going nowhere politically, at all!!!

CNN was dreaming that millions of Americans tuned in to last night’s farce & joke on “Climate Change”. Was it, 1,000,000, was it 5,000,000, was it 10,000,000, was it 20,000,000, was it 40,000,000 TV viewers? We shall soon find out, later today!!!
