A pair of top incoming White House environmental aides has blamed "systemic racism" as a driver of climate change in an attempt to justify a government-led economic overhaul.
President-elect Joe Biden named progressive policy adviser Maggie Thomas as Office of Domestic Climate Policy chief of staff and climate advocate Cecilia Martinez as "senior director for environmental justice" on Thursday. Both Thomas and Martinez have cited racial inequality as perpetuating climate change, arguing that the Biden administration's environmental policy must be centered on "racial and economic justice."
"Unless intentionally interrupted, systemic racism will continue to be a major obstacle to creating a healthy planet," Martinez said in a 2019 press release touting her "Equitable & Just" climate platform. "The only path forward is to design national climate policies that are centered on justice."
For Thomas and Martinez, such policies require "massive" government spending and the "realignment of public dollars at all levels." Thomas's climate plan demands "trillions" in public investment—not only to "crack down" on oil production and shift away from the nation's "fossil fuel economy" but also to fund welfare programs, including rent and utility relief. Martinez's platform calls for much of the same, including increased government investment into "affordable and quality housing."

They’re dumb enough to vote for the Democrats. Does that answer your question? :-)
Right now, our country is a Babylon Bee story.
The vast majority of them vote D, no matter what. Republicans thinking they can make inroads on this are delusional.
We are so screwed.
The left is already talking about “cleansing” and “deprogramming”. We are not too far from camps.
Yessirree, this Administration is based on “science.” Taxing and spending trillions on Democrat pet programs will reduce CO2 and reduce the planet’s temperature. Scientific fact, that is.
The Democratic Party is THE cause of Systemic Racism in the US.
Well, it’s going to be an interesting ride.
Hey, why don't you blame Broccoli for climate change next week. Makes exactly the same amount of sense, maybe more.
last report was climate change causes racism.
It is 50/50 now. My $$$ is still on PDJT. Hope he has something. If not, I’ll take care of my situation and pop some corn.
That’s just it. Some of them really do believe this nonsense. Others just use it to gain power. We are living in the Twilight Zone.
Oh no....it's going to get worse.
This is no longer United States of America. Red states are being occupied by blue states under a radical left administration.
“Three days in and we’ve already reached peak absurdity.”
Oh, I don’t think we’re more than 1/8th of the way up that peak yet.
Top aides and this is the best they can do?
All I know is if humanity is to survive we need to have the same color skin. We need an artificial away to turn everyone’s skin black, white or brown. The color doesn’t matter pick a color, green anyone? Also universal rhinoplasty to make everyone nose the same shape.
Are people really dumb enough to fall for this BS?
The zombie apocalypse is real. What you’re hearing is zombie gibberish... this is how zombies talk... zombies don’t make sense.
We just need to figure out how to deal with zombies...ahem...
Of course. What else would it be?
