Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) 2020 presidential campaign plans to offset all carbon emissions from travel, it announced Thursday morning.

“Bernie Sanders is a champion in the fight for climate justice and, like him, we know we need to address our emissions through action, not just rhetoric,” campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in a statement. “We are proud to lead the way in the fight against climate change by acting boldly to move our energy system away from fossil fuels and towards sustainable energy sources.”

The campaign said it will partner with NativeEnergy, a Vermont-based carbon offsets provider, to invest in renewable energy projects to balance the emissions created by its automobile and air travel. The campaign also pledged to offset event venue and attendee-related emissions.

“The scientific community has said that climate change is one of the great crises facing our planet,” Sanders told Wheeler. “And if there is not unprecedented action to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel, to sustainable energy and energy efficiency, there will be irreparable damage in the United States and virtually every country on earth.”

How does he heat his three mansions?

What a f***ing joke these people are.

If we cannot get serious people in government and running for president, then lets just eliminate the entire damned thing.

We have a nation full to the brim of idiots and illegal aliens trying to figure out which f***ing joke to elect president.

Enough!

Carbon Offset Provider?

Is that like a Perpetual Motion Machine?

I don’t know how either of them are supposed to work.

Is he and his staff going to put duct tape over their noses and mouths for long enough to do the offset?

So the rich communists can buy indulgences. Does that really undo the “damage” from all the carbon dioxide his travel and that of thousands of campaigners, handler, rally attenders generate? What a scam. Sanders should use ALL his campaign funds to plant trees, buy bicycles, etc.

Make America great again and relegate carbon offset organizations to the dust bin of scam operations history and confiscating all their assets to provide supplemental funding for building the southern border wall and for domestic fossil fuel energy producers’ legal defenses.
