HI Senator Mazie Hirono: We Need to ‘Acknowledge Climate Change Is Upon Us’
Breitbart ^ | 13 August 2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/14/2023 2:47:17 PM PDT by AnthonySoprano

Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the United States needed to “very much acknowledge” climate change was upon us.

(snip)

Hirono said, “I think that we need to very much acknowledge climate change is upon us. There are whole states, by the way, you can’t use the words climate change because they have a head-in-the-sand attitude. But the Inflation Reduction Act provided some $300 billion to combat climate change and to move us away from continuing to rely on FOSSIL FUELS. Yes, there is more that needs to be done.”

So, THAT Was the name of the government employee y’all paid to burn that place down so the ultra-rich could buy it up?

What we need to acknowledge is that the Democratic Party is filled with dangerously insane sociopaths.

Put your money where your mouth is, Hirono: Put an end to all incoming and outgoing flights to Hawaii. Those planes do use a lot of “fossil fuel.”

The climate has been changing for the billions of years the earth has been rotating around the sun, sometimes drastically and suddenly. Give me a time period when the climate hasn’t changed. Go ahead. I’m waiting.

I have lost track of all the scares. Before Climate Change there was Global Warming. Was there something before that?

No, Flousie.
It wasn’t climate change. You were nuked by your fellow morons.

No alarm system for this but they did warn of a nuke attack.

Fire hydrants with no water

Biden is deaf-mute as his staff plans his emergent climate change executive order.

It’s really odd these politicians scream about impending doom yet do nothing to help. More tornadoes are happening they scream, but no school shelters. It’s hot! Old folks are dying, but they can’t send window units to folks. Can’t use the electricity.

Then they all retire to homes on the beach and scream floods are coming.

Build some dams and taller bridges. Desalination plants so Hawaii can water their state.

... The left is being handed a nicely timed political gift horse by Mother Nature this election cycle ..... Unfortunately these extreme events are about  to get even worse

....  Climate Change and Climate Change Denialism, will now become a huge election issue as these Climate events become MORE COMMON AND MORE EXTREME over the next few years as our Sun heads into what is now shaping up to be a rather unusually active and strong  Solar Maximum Cycle.

..... This new cycle  was originally predicted to start some time next year but has caught sun gazers by surprise and has started much earlier than expected. Of course Globull Warming Activist Scientists insist there is no correlation between Solar Activity and Earth's Climate Events ....

Senator Hirono will probably end up demanding no natural gas stoves or natural gas or propane gas or charcoal-fired grills in Build-Back-Better Lahaina,

We were all going to freeze with another Ice Age.

Earth Day 1970 was about pollution and it was bad. People spent the day picking up garbage and lobbying for regulations because fish really were dying. We needed minimal regulations and we got them. Things improved.
Totally different now. Nothing they propose helps anyone. Simply riling up folks for control.

Remember the anti litter campaigns? It's rare to see litter like that these days. The culture changed. The left needs to stop. Improve the warning systems and natural disaster infrastructure if you really believe it's getting worse.

Global Cooling (late 70s).

Leonard Nimoy Predicts An Ice Age Back In 1979. Fascinating!

It’s pathetic that any heritage American has to the listen to the ramblings of this foreigner POS. SCREW Hawaii while we’re at it. The locals hate real Americans and white people. They never should’ve been admitted into the Union.

Cancel all flights to Hawaii,

Until global warming is reversed it’s not safe.
