People were totally terrified of the climate crisis (scam), and willing to pay a lot more in taxes and fees and lose their choice
Seattle City Council passes Green New Deal resolution
The Seattle City Council voted unanimously Monday in support of a resolution for a Green New Deal.
Many people testified in favor of the city acting quickly to address the climate crisis, and the crowd was standing room only.
Emma Nixon brought her two young children to the council meeting.
“We are terrified that they will die an early and terribly tragic death because of the impact we humans have on our environment,” she told the council.
The Green New Deal would remake the economy with clean energy, to act on warnings from scientists that climate change will be irreversible unless drastic action is taken by 2030.
“If we need to be climate pollution free by 2030, what we’re talking about is no more fossil fuels in our city,” said Councilman Mike O’Brien, who led the effort on the council.
Who wants to be that O’Brien, and the vast majority of attendees, took fossil fueled trips to city hall?
The resolution does not make specific policy but does envision a fund to raise and spend money on green projects.
Mayor Jenny Durkan has already proposed a tax on home heating oil to help pay for transitioning the 18,000 city homes that still use it.
So, wait, they’re going to tax people heating their home, using an abundant and cheap method, to help pay for forcing these same people to move to a more expensive method? I don’t want to hear any complaining from you Seattle climate cultists about this.
(Crosscut) The resolution states that while the city has made some steps towards the goals listed within it, “that progress is insufficient to make the necessary changes to shift Seattle’s economy to be more equitable and ecologically sustainable.†The resolution suggests that financing of these actions be taken with “progressive revenue sources†and public funds.
Have fun with all the higher taxes and fees, which will skyrocket your cost of living, while also making it harder and more expensive to power your domicile. No whining, Progressive Seattlites, since this is what you wanted.
Seattle police, who won't arrest violent anarchists and Antifa nutters, finally find a criminal in their league https://t.co/SjqrUafvpo

The police are always standing down in the face of the violent leftists, but, a little girl performing vandalism? That’s easy. The story is a hoot, though
The Seattle Police Department drew criticism after officers arrested a crying 13-year-old girl who had accidentally used spray paint, instead of washable chalk paint, to write on a wall at Seattle City Hall during a climate-change protest Friday afternoon.
According to videos and conversation posted on Twitter, one of the adults supporting the children’s protest brought a case of the wrong kind of paint.
A 25-year-old man was arrested along with the seventh-grader, according to a Seattle police blotter post that said officers were responding to a report of vandalism and that building security said they saw people damaging the building facade. Reports on Twitter said the adults who brought the paint were also questioned.
There’s a pretty big difference between spray paint and chalk, and, regardless, it is vandalism. And, perhaps these climate kids, who’ve been brainwashed and dragged to these events, should learn that there are consequences to their actions.
Former mayoral candidate Nikkita Oliver weighed in on Friday evening, saying the officers could have instead turned the incident into a teachable moment.
“Imagine if instead of arresting this little girl the cops had helped her clean it up. Imagine if they had thanked her for her service for protecting the planet,â€Â Oliver wrote. “That kind of public service would have actually been transformative and accountable.â€
Not their job. That just entices more Bad Behavior.
