Bernie Sanders Slams Democrats ‘Afraid Of Big Ideas’ On Climate Change
Huffington Post via Yahoo ^ | 7/30/19 | Nick Visser

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shredded his fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates who weren’t supportive of ambitious plans to tackle climate change during CNN’s debate on Tuesday evening.

“I get a little bit tired of Democrats afraid of big ideas. Republicans are not afraid of big ideas,” Sanders said, referencing GOP-led efforts to bail out big banks during the 2008 financial crisis. “Please don’t tell me that we cannot take on the fossil fuel industry … nothing happens unless we do that.”

**SNIP**

Sanders rejected the characterization, saying that when it comes to tackling climate change, “there is no choice.”

“We have got to be super-aggressive if we love our children and if we want to leave them a planet that is healthy and is habitable,” the senator said.

He continued: “Here is the bottom line: What do you do with an industry that knowingly, for billions of dollars in short-term profits, is destroying this planet. I say that is criminal activity. That should not be allowed to happen.”

And just how does the Bernster keep his three mansions warm in the winter? By burning wood?

“I say that is criminal activity. “

So l guess Bernie wants to send the men and women who work for oil companies to prison.

Bernie Sanders is insane.

He looked like he was about to swing an axe into someone’s face last night.

I’d just as soon not have this lunatic anywhere near WMDs.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Ten Thousand (or so) years ago most of North America was covered in ice. Over that time GLOBAL WARMING melted that ice

Are native Americans at fault for destroying the glaciers?

Hey Bernie you believe climate change is proven by science. But you deny science regarding gender.
