VP Harris: Young people will ‘leapfrog’ this generation in climate change work because they won’t face the question: ‘Is this real?’
CNBC ^ | February 9, 2023 | By Catherine Clifford

… “Students who are here and those who are thinking about their role in this: You are going to come out and just leapfrog over all of us,” Harris said on Wednesday.

“Because, you know, especially for our younger leaders, the benefit that you have is you’re not burdened by any question about, ‘Is this real?’” she said.

That’s not currently the case, Harris said. “That is great because we’ve been having to deal with some folks who just literally ... we’re kind of like, ‘Have you looked out the window?’”

“Let’s all stay active in this and understand ... this is the planet we’ve got. It is a precious place. It is — it is a place that we have a responsibility for taking care of, and that there is a whole lot of work that can be done,” Harris said. “But the clock is not just ticking, it’s like banging. It is requiring us to move quickly. But there is so much to be excited about in terms of what we can do.”

“When we look at extreme climate, we see that we are experiencing drought around the world,” Harris said. “If people don’t have water where they live, they will leave where they live. If they cannot grow food where they live, they will leave where they live, and they will go to other places.”

That migration, forced by climate change, may lead to conflict, she said.

“And if we think about this in the global perspective, and they will invariably go to places that speak a different language and pray to a different god. And what do you think might happen then? You’re probably looking at the beginning of conflict,” Harris said.

What a maroon. CO2 is plant food. Without it we die.

How do we know that Green Energy hasn’t caused more ‘Climate Change ‘?

This generation will soon face blackouts that won’t let them charge their electronics nor their EV, find empty shelves at whole foods and no coffee at their Starbucks.

Because the Climate has been through meteor showers, volcanic periods, Ice Ages and more before we ever got here. This planet is a well-established self-correcting system. What we are doing is a fart in the wind.

We are as natural to this planet as a cockroach. Everything we do is as natural as what any other living thing does. Everything we use is natural to this planet.

The Climate has nothing to do with the Climate policy and the Climate won’t be affected by Climate policy.

Sounds like somebody might be hittin’ “da weed” for more than medicinal purposes.

Camel-uh rhetorically asks, ‘Have you looked out the window?’

Yes, that would be a problem. Seeing snow piled 5 feet high and reports of record low temps across the north, that's might make those brainwashed legions she's praising so highly start to ask some very inconvenient questions, wouldn't it?

In order to believe in Global Warming, homosexual marriage, “transgender” and other Democrat agendas, it is necessary to believe in lies.

The next “crisis” will be “real,” too. Every couple of decades everybody will die if you don’t follow them off a cliff.

“Have you looked out the window?”
I have, you illiterate dolt. The seas are not rising, (or boiling), there’s 5 feet of snow on the ground in MN, (it’s winter), and it’s a balmy 76 here in south Florida.
Have you looked out the window?

You’d think the Left would be more creative and develop other methods of destruction.
