Green New Deal a swing and a miss as Senators from both sides of the aisle shoot it down.
Funny thing is: Trump wants to keep the GND discussion alive because "...it makes Democrats uncomfortable." :roflol:

Friggin gold, it's gold Jerry.
Mike Lee on the disastrous Green New Deal tonight, it got shot down 57-0 and I legitimately respect those Dems that dared to do more than to simply vote Present.
AOC, take some notes.

OMG this is too much. Trying to find a YouTube version but until then.....
So Here is a montage of dems saying how badly we need the green new deal and these predictable sell outs voted present, rather than for the green new deal. Isn't it amazing?

Yep...like when companies like Harley Davidson or GM say they're going to move production overseas and Trump jumps on them...he's CRITICIZED for it! That's why he got elected, and will get elected again. HE"S the one that's for the workers. MAGA matters.Quote:

War, famine and drought: More women say they won't have children because of climate change
“It almost feels like a con, to bring a child into the world when it’s probably not going to be a place*we’re really going to want to live,” says*Formisano, 30, who manages a co-working space in Los Angeles.

^^^Crackpot
People who don't know history drive me crazy. There has probably never been a better and safer time in human history to have children then today in America.
Hell, we have so damn much food that even our poor people are fat. No one should starve to death in this country. That has never happened before in history... never...
Part of this I blame on people and their lazy ignorance and part I blame on #FakeNews for always trying to scare the shit out of the sheepeople.
/End Rant
Exactly. Americans who whine about poverty have no idea what real poverty looks like. Spend a couple of years living in a third world country and you'll see what I mean. We have it pretty good here. I wish people would stop trying to ruin it with their nonsense.
Here's a ripped off version on YouTube, showing these Dems pumping and promoting the Green New Deal, how badly we need it for the planet, and EVERY ONE OF THEM voted Present, not a single vote in the positive for Green New Deal. 57-0Quote:

BUT BUT BUT BUT global warming, It MUST be true, the liberals and CNN say it is so, you know, like Russian Collusion....
I always ask what caused the last 5 ice ages. Scientist admit they do not know. And if you look at the graph, those hot spikes all have the same incline, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. And there was no human organized civilizations of any consequence back then.
Some scientists believe dinosaur farts caused the end of the ice age 150 million years ago... don't believe me? It's true, look it up, except they use the technical term "release of methane gas". https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5ed3034506.jpg
It’s all the whites.....(shuffles deck).. ruining the environment with your.......(shuffles deck).....diets.

Just wait til the minority dem pres hopefuls like Booker, Kamala, Fauxahontas, Master Beto integrate this reasoning linking it with their calls for reparations.
Hmmm...on the menu tonite, a thick juicy steak I just picked up from Costco...you know, those ones that are ridiculous thick. Give that a couple hours to settle in the gut and then I'll wipe out a whole pint of super, duper ice cream.
Ahhh, it's good to be white, and rich.
According to Her Royal Highness, climate change is the cause of all of the global migration problems. Yes- it’s cow farts that are causing communities, economies, and countries to collapse and war to break out and migrants to flee their countries. It has nothing to do with failed ideologies and over controlling or corrupt governments. Thank you AOC for your intellect and wisdom.

Scientists Recommend Reducing The Number Of Democratic Presidential Candidates To Help Fight Climate Change
“No one ever thought this many people would run for president,” said climate scientist Dr. Raymond Hall, “and the planet just can’t take it. We’re talking each of them eating up resources vying for airtime, printing stickers with trite slogans, and flying from Iowa to New Hampshire. If they were actually all to be in one place for a debate, it would be an ecological disaster.”Scientists recommend the current Democratic field be reduced to less than half the current number or we could see an increase in hurricanes, droughts, kaiju, and “other climate change things.” As for what to do with the excess candidates, researcher Jeannie Perry said, “As always, I’d recommend firing them into space. Barring that, someone should just sit down with them and explain to them that no one is ever going to vote for them and hope that keeps them from running around consuming resources in a futile effort for presidential power.”

Didn’t read the specific article but disposable plastic drinking straws are among some of the worst offenders for plastic pollutants, representing a huge portion of waste floating in our oceans.
So yeah we should be switching away from this kind of waste, that also goes for any disposable plastics, water bottles, coffee lids, etc
I’d also argue the damage is already done tho

I'll have to hunt it down but I read an article a while ago claiming that of all of the discarded plastic waste drinking straws accounted for approximately 0.025%.
Statistically insignificant...

Pretty good article.

Guess I could use some data:ne_nau:
Now I'm wondering if landfills are sorting out plastic straws and shipping them to the oceans.
On the other hand--what if fish learn to use these straws and the oceans begin to recede?
Will the climate change and melting of all the sea ice compensate for this type of drawdown?
The way I understood it, cities on the coast (ie New York, Los Angeles, etc) used to send a lot of their trash out to sea on a barge and dump it in the ocean. Not sure if this practice is still common anymore.Quote:

Of course, the issue of straws being a threat to the environment was never an issue until Starbucks made it so. It's called marketing.
Follow the money.
No kidding! We have tons of "homeless" addicts living in tents along Cherry Creek and the Platte River and when I ride the bike paths, you see these damn things all over the place. They have special trash cans for them, but they seem to be ignored.
It's the stupid Dem politicians here in Denver that give the needles out for free and set up the "shooting galleries" for them.
They do it because they're "Concerned for the addicts safety"...which makes it easier for them to keep shooting up, so they can keep shooting up.
Like telling someone you care about that they really should stop smoking...but then you buy them a carton of cigarettes? Liberal logic.
These same "scientist" did a study and found there are just as many unicorns as liberals with logic.Quote:

To the point made by @oldno7 above, how do the straws used in Kansas end up in the ocean.
This article, which will be quoted by so many "scientists" and political activists, claims that of the 500 million DAILY straws used in the U.S., most of them end up in the ocean. It is very disappointing how lies like this are being spread and used to fuel political activism.
Plastic straws are really bad for the ocean. It’s estimated that we use over 500 million every day in America, and most of those end up in our oceans, polluting the water and killing marine life. We want to encourage people to stop using plastic straws for good. If we don’t act now, by the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
This is the typical m.o. of the modern day social justice warrior. Focus on one tiny little thing and demonize it to make yourself feel better, while not actually doing anything. It reminds me of when everyone was putting up those Kony 2012 signs. I am pretty sure if someone is kidnapping kids in Africa, they aren't going to give 2 shits if a homemaker in Draper puts a sign in their yard. It probably made a lot of people feel good about themselves though. These straws are the same thing. Sure we all use way too much plastic for everything, but what % of that is straws? .0000000001% or so I am guessing. The same people giving me side eye for using a straw in a restaurant probably used 5 lbs. of plastic in the last month between all of the water bottles and product packaging they bought.Quote:

The U.S. does have the best intentions in the world, literally, and we can keep improving and solving our problems, but it's not going to change the pollution problem in the world.
With time, we can hope our good example shines around the world and inspires others, but that's about all we can do. Straws in Utah aren't going to do a damned thing though. They don't even end up in the Great Salt Lake.

Fixed it a little bit for ya. :naughty:Quote:
