Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Kamala Harris introduced a new bill in Congress on Thursday meant to combat climate change.
How will this new legislation prevent the planet from heating up? By creating equal economic outcomes for all races.
In the same vein as the highly criticized “Green New Deal,” the “Climate Equity Act” forwards the philosophy of environmental and climate justice, an ideology that links the issue of the “climate crisis” to the liberal “social justice” agenda.
“For a year, @AOC and I have worked with communities on landmark legislation to ensure that as we fight the climate crisis, we center that fight in justice and equity,” Harris wrote in a Twitter post on Thursday.
“Today, we’re formally introducing the Climate Equity Act in Congress.”
Among other things, the bill calls for an Office of Climate and Environmental Justice Accountability to be created to ensure that all government legislation is furthering the goal of equity, or equal outcomes, among all minority communities.
“Climate justice” is a term used by social justice activists who wish to use climate change as a vessel or, to put it more accurately, a Trojan horse to introduce social justice ideas such as equity.

VIDEO: 5m08s: 10 Aug: Prager Uni: Do We Have to Destroy the Earth to Save It?
by Michael Shellenberger
Do wind turbines and solar farms hold the keys to saving the environment? Michael Shellenberger, founder of Environmental Progress and noted climate activist, used to think so. Now he’s not so sure. He explains why in this important video.
TRANSCRIPT
(ENDS WITH) Consider this: Today’s energy system requires just a half a percent of the land in the US. If we were to get all the energy we now use from wind and solar, at least 25% of all land in the US would be required.
That’s a lot of dead wildlife.

On Thursday and no one noticed until now , LOL
So equal opportunity wasn’t enough. Imagine that...
New York managed to find a woman looney enough to unseat Shelia Jackson Lee from the Left’s most coo-coo nest. Sadly, both are up there now ....
AOC should have a Protest and live high up in a Wind Turbine for a Year
The left has been trying to fire-up minorities about global warming but blacks and Hispanics just don't care.
Now can we repeal 19
More communist bull$hit by dimwits. Historically the communist countries have been the worst polluters BY FAR. How about that, AOC ?

1 Aug: Aljazeera: ‘Green’ colonialism is ruining Indigenous lives in Norway
Norway continues to allow the construction of wind farms on Saami land, which threatens their herding livelihoods.
by Eva Maria Fjellheim & Florian Carl
And it is not just Norway that has endangered the Saami livelihood pursuing “green energy”. Across Saepmie, the governments of Sweden, Finland and Russia have also promoted energy and resource extraction projects that make it impossible for the Saami to continue their traditional ways of life.
Across Europe, wind power is presented as a climate solution that will pave the way for a sustainable future. Through policy programmes such as the European Green New Deal, many governments lower taxes, offer subsidies and loosen regulations to advance renewable energy production.
The conflict around the Oyfjellet wind plant shows how such policies can contribute to Europe’s long tradition of oppression and destruction of indigenous territories. The Saami community consider these kinds of programmes “green colonialism”.
Regrettably, many vocal environmental movements in Europe tend to remain silent on these issues. Thus they offer implicit support for the colonisation of Indigenous peoples and lands in the name of “environmentally friendly” resource extraction...

25 Jun: Financial Post Canada: ‘Hypocritical’: After divesting from oilsands companies, Norway expands to untouched Arctic
by Geoffrey Morgan
“We are bragging about being a green country … but we are very reliant on the income from oil and gas”

If I were a lefty black activist concerned about my race, I would be more than annoyed with the perverts, greenies, feminists and foreign job takers trying to horn in on my political movement.
This country is not based on equal outcomes
Not even equal starting points
Ample opportunities for those who will work to take them
Not have everything handed to them and they ‘think’ they are working so hard when they aren’t
