Environmental advocates have sounded an urgent alarm about the climate crisis for decades. In recent days, the business community voiced a similarly strident tone.
In a newly released interview, longtime environmental lawyer Robert Kennedy Jr. warns it’s nearly too late.
Kennedy Jr. castigates fossil fuel companies, throws his support behind the Green New Deal, and says that every Democratic presidential candidate has an environmental agenda better than that of President Donald Trump.
“There are going to be major disruptions not just to humanity, but ultimately to civilization,” says Kennedy Jr, the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy. “This is part of the cost that we're paying for our longtime deadly addiction to coal and oil.”
“Right now, we have a market that is governed by rules that were written by the carbon incumbents to reward the dirtiest, filthiest, most poisonous, most toxic, most war-mongering fields from hell, rather than the cheap, clean, green, wholesome and patriotic fields from heaven,” Kennedy adds.
On climate change, Kennedy Jr. voiced his support for a Green New Deal proposal put forward by Queens Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but primarily called on governments to divest from fossil fuels and impose a tax for carbon emissions.
“I think the Green New Deal - and all that stuff - is important,” Kennedy Jr. says. “We ought to be pursuing it. My approach is more market-based than kind of top down dictates. You know, I believe that we should use market mechanisms like carbon taxes and the elimination of subsidies.”

Interesting that the remedy involves a tax increase. /s
So, how does he live without electricity and only using horse drawn transportation?
Ski into a tree or bury a Piper Saratoga off Martha’s Vineyard you ring piece. Kennedys are like skunk stench.
Isn’t RFK Jr. One of the Kennedys who abused drugs?
War mongered fields from hell? Patriotic fields from heaven?
Is he just spouting nonsense?
But we are supposed to be shocked and awed because he’s a Kennedy?
The Druggie speaks...
There’s gotta be a pony in there somewhere...

Really. He probably thinks he’s out there on the front lines.
Great image.
He STILL hasn’t OD’d.
I’m wondering when he’ll sign up for the “Kennedy curse.”
What are the reasonable substitutes for coal and oil? Will Junior personally abandon the use of coal and oil?
He was driving around using that evil fossil fuel and high on prescription drugs and alcohol when he was pulled over and arrested in 2006.
And an addiction to supporting Nazism, extramarital sex, including sex with a teen babysitter, killing someone by leaving her to drown, waitress sandwiches, drugs, drunk driving, murdering Martha Moxley and a plethora of other grossly immoral behavior is a result of being a Kennedy.
People are stupid. The reason they want coal gone is it gives people a better shot at financial freedom...independence from the government. If this were not true, then the hollywood moguls and lefty billionaires would shelve their jets in principle.
[[says Robert Kennedy Jr.]]
while using coal and gas produced electricity to keep himself, warm, see, get to work, write on his computer, etc etc etc
Yes, and drove his wife, the mother of his children, to suicide.
Environmental lawyer Kennedy.
