Dem senator warns ‘LA fires are preview of coming atrocities,’ claims Trump bought off by ‘Big Oil’ ("...what a climate emergency looks like.”)

As fires wreak havoc in California, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., claimed in a post on X the catastrophe is “what a climate emergency looks like.”

In another tweet, he took aim at President-elect Trump, asserting the incoming president has been bought off by the oil industry.

“Trump has been bought for $1 billion by Big Oil. Just a payoff to kill the IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what will happen. More fires, more climate disasters, more death. The LA fires are preview of coming atrocities,” Markey declared in a post on X.

Markey, who claims there is a “climate crisis,” has also warned about the potential effects of artificial intelligence (AI).

He suggested rising use of AI could result in “doubling data center electricity demand by 2026,” “increased carbon emissions,” “water supply shortages” and “electronic waste.”

“We are already facing a climate crisis. We can’t let AI make it worse,” Markey warned.

Trump is slated to take office Jan. 20.

“In his first term, President Trump advanced conservation and environmental stewardship while promoting economic growth for families across the country,” incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

“America’s energy agenda under President Trump produced affordable, reliable energy for consumers along with stable, high-paying jobs for small businesses — all while dropping U.S. carbon emissions to their lowest level in 25 years. In his second term, President Trump will once again deliver clean air and water for American families while Making America Wealthy Again.”

Ed is not a biologist.

Markey is a progressive who has focused on climate change and energy policy and was chair of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming from 2007 to 2011. He is the Senate author of the Green New Deal.[1]

Head scammer.

Its obvious technology is impacting our energy supply and we need more energy production to support the technology.

Electric car production sucks the water supply one such plant in Georgia would suck up to 6.6 million gallons of water a day.

He is a con artist. Any politician who REALLY believes in climate crisis would advocate for fast-tracking of proper forest management and proper water supply. In other words, he would support Trump.

If I ever own an energy company, I’m going to call it “Big Oil Inc.,” and it’ll trade under the symbol “BO”. Our motto will be “Warming the globe one exploding head at a time.”

Corrupt Senators Took Ukraine Cash
American Thinker ^ | October 15, 2019 | Daniel John Sobieski
Posted on 10/15/2019, 8:45:39 AM by george76

a group of Democratic senators took cash from a Ukraine lobbyist to push Ukrainian gas interests at the same time the Democrats are pushing the Trump-Ukraine yarn.

...

Remember Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s business partner? .. previously been a top fundraiser for John Kerry, who was Secretary of State at the time. And soon after Devon and Hunter joined the Burisma Board, the company channeled $90,000 to a lobbying firm called ML Strategies, which was headed by none other than David Leiter, John Kerry’s former chief of staff.

That’s handy because then-Secretary of State John Kerry himself has visited Ukraine with promises of U.S. aid and assistance.

...

He donated to Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., four times and to Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., three times

...

This was at a time when Democrats were waging a war on fossil fuels, opposing fracking, and trying to shut down U.S. energy production. American natural gas was bad for the environment, but Ukrainian natural gas was good for the campaign coffers when it involves Hunter Biden’s business interests and John Kerry’s former chief of staff.

...

Sen. Ed Markey was the Senate sponsor of the Green New Deal! He wants to shut down gas production in America. Yet he personally intervened with the Obama administration to send your tax dollars to boost Ukraine’s gas production. And not just once.

Not only did he write that letter to Obama, but he sponsored multiple pieces of legislation that called for more U.S. assistance and aid specifically to help Ukraine’s natural gas sector. . .

Biden, Dem lawmakers take cash from convicted terrorist financier
nypost ^ | 2/5/2022 | Jon Lavine
Posted on 2/7/2022, 1:45:51 PM by bitt

A convicted felon accused by the US government of supporting “the cause of violent jihad” — and promoting 9/11 mastermind Osama Bin Laden — donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and a host of progressive Democrats following his release from prison, records show.

Emadeddin Muntasser, 57, and two of his associates were convicted in January 2008 on counts of conspiring to defraud the United States government, lying to the FBI and engaging in a scheme to conceal evidence. The charges stemmed from their operation of an Islamic charity that acted as a front to finance Islamic jihad abroad and lying about the organization in order to obtain tax-exemption status. . .

In 2018 Muntasser became a Democratic donor, cutting a $1,000 check for Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey, according to Federal Election Commission records. . .

“Ed Malarkey” is the correct spelling.

You know for a fact that Global Warming and Climate Change is a total scam.

If C02 emissions were a real existential threat to the world by 2030 we would be in the middle of crash program to convert all power generation to clean, emission-less and inexpensive nuclear power.

This conversion would have the benefit of providing the power generation capacity to fully meet the needs of conversion to electric cars and the re building of our industrial base to create another wave of the industrial revolution and a historic economic boom in America.

Instead , we try to implement unworkable, unfeasible and unreliable (Made in China) wind mill and solar power which, coincidentally, kills our economy and builds the Chinese economy - which is the true goal of the Green New Deal.
