Katy Tur Frets Dems Not Far Left Enough on Global Warming

On her Friday afternoon show, MSNBC host Katy Tur was again beating the climate alarmism drum as she devoted a segment to fretting over the fact that Bernie Sanders is the only presidential candidate advocating all 10 action items called for by the left-wing environmental group, Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund.

Host Tur gave the group's chief political strategist, Brett Hartl, and environmental activist Amy Westervelt a forum to push for most of the Democratic candidates to move further to the left to fight global warming.

The segment began with several soundbites of Democratic candidates talking left on fighting climate change, with Sanders and Joe Biden calling the issue an "existential threat," which then led Tur to set up the segment by lamenting:

KATY TUR: During this week's contentious Democratic debate, all six candidates were able to agree that combating climate change is a high priority. But a new scorecard on the six Democrats paints a slightly different picture. According to the Center Action Fund, there are 10 critical actions to protect the climate. All of the candidates earn one point for wanting to end fossil fuels -- fossil fuel leasing on federal lands. But most of them scoring poorly for not supporting things like a ban on fracking or not ending fossil fuel exports. Only Bernie Sanders scored a perfect 10 out of 10.

Democrat’s hot air is causing global warming!
If 3/4 of them would just shut up we could save the planet.
Save the Unicorns now!

Katy Tur? Wow it’s amazing what you can learn by paying attention. I never really noticed this person before. I’m sort of dyslexic, so I always thought it was a dog named Taty Kur. Reading these posts, I noticed I was wrong somewhat. I got the spelling wrong. But I still think I may be right about her being a dog.

Dhims think the air heats the ocean, despite at least a half dozen scientific reasons why that statement alone is ludicrous

Even NBC knew she was an idiot, so they had her cover the “joke” candidate, Donald Trump.

Well sonnaofbitch if he didn’t win. Since she was “the expert” on Donald Trump they were stuck with her.

Per this article, the Medieval Warm Period was about 2-3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the current average warm temps for Europe. Thus that increase won’t cause the world to end, it will just open a wider range for crops. And then the Medieval Cold period came for the next 150 years.

Global Warming is ten years away.

Coincidentally, Controlled Fusion - and polution/radiation-free electric power too cheap to meter - is ten years away.

I’m not seeing a problem . . .
