Washington's governor on climate: 'The Earth is screaming at us'
Politico via Yahoo ^ | July 23, 2023 | By David Cohen

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Sunday that this summer's record-setting heat is proof that climate change is harming the planet.

"The Earth is screaming at us," the Democrat said on ABC's "This Week," adding that the impact of climate change is being felt two decades earlier than scientists had expected.

“The fuse has been burning for decades and now the climate change bomb has gone off," Inslee said Sunday.

Despite the scorching heat and intense storms in so many places, Washington's governor said the problem is a solvable one.

"We need to stop using fossil fuels," he said, adding: "We do have the ability to restrain fossil fuels."

When asked by host Martha Raddatz how to respond to those like former President Donald Trump who don't see a problem, Inslee called Trump a "knucklehead" and said the world can't wait for climate deniers to realize there is a crisis.

"Let them go off and play golf," Inslee said.

Pensacola is getting into the low 90s, with humidity high enough for a heat index of 5006, but as far as I know, that’s normal for here.

Thankfully, this dumbass has decided not to run for governor again in 2024. Unfortunately, we may get somebody who’s even worse..Bob ‘Fergy” Ferguson, who is the current Attorney General of the state of Washington. The guy hates conservatives, loathes Christians, and has turned the legal services of Washington State against both of those groups.

Inslee is a stupid politician. What does he know about the “climate”? He’s a useful idiot for the globalists who want to enslave us.

My Earth is screaming “Try to eat all the tomatoes and cucumbers I’m producing”. This year is unbelievable.

Election machines made in Communist China would be my first guess.

It’s exactly a typical summer around here (Western Washington) after a somewhat coolish spring. Dimslee hasn’t a clue (we’ve known this for years). There’s only been a couple of days where it has even hit 90.

What he is likely referring to is the low rainfall. Often Washington Junes are cool and wet, then July brings mixed sun and rain, and August and September are usually pretty moderate. This year June and July have been clear, sunny, and in the lower 80’s.

I’m loving it!

Do these people actually believe this stuff or are they just knowingly running a con?

Exactly. Inslee thinks he’s Napoleon. His air of moral superiority is delusional. His progressive regime has ruined Wa.

Inslee sincerely believes it as his born again, pagan religion. And his fanatical approach to his religion is what causes us so much grief (like highest gasoline prices in all 50 states). All residents of the State of Washington must be made to worship at the altar of climate change!

What do suburban women and independent voters think about Inslee calling a person who disagrees with his environmental fanatism a knucklehead?

I ask because the political narrative is the two demographic groups mentioned aren’t into name calling & derogatory insults.
This is an important matter because we have have to make sure these groups in the electorate are properly pandered to.(Our Constitutional Republic depends on it)

“We need to know what the rules are & that the same rules are being applied consistently.”
