This is one hell of a hot-take from the hardcores at Down To Earth
2020 US elections: No Democrat candidate offers bold plan for climate action
Election Day is more than a year away, but the race among Democrats in the US to take back the White House is heating up. While the field consists of about 20 presidential hopefuls, the ones leading the polls are former vice president Joe Biden and senators Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. These four standard-bearers represent a party, which unlike President Donald Trump and his Republican Party, is known for climate-friendly policies.
A number of polls suggest that Democrat voters also consider climate change to be a top-tier issue, as important as healthcare. For a majority of world leaders, these presidential candidates are the last hope to make the US, the biggest carbon polluter in history, stay committed to the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation. But are they taking it seriously?
Of course, when real issues are included, and we get to the general election, caring about doing something about ‘climate change’ drops to the end. And, again, most Americans refuse to pay more than $10 a month to solve Hotcoldwetdry.
But this embrace of GND does not automatically make the Democrats’ proposals ambitious. Consider this. While advocating that global emissions will have to hit net-zero by 2050 to stay below the global warming threshold of 1.5°C, GND does not recognise the fact that the US, being a massive historic polluter, should aim at a net zero carbon economy well before 2050.
Jay Inslee, who is often referred to as “climate candidate†for the Democrat nomination (who now polls at just 2 per cent), recognises this gap and advocates a 2045 target for net-zero emissions. But none of the leading candidates have voiced their opinion about it.
Essentially, this is saying that Biden, Harris, Warren, and Comrade Bernie’s plans are way too weak. Seriously, have you read them? They may not be quite as far out as Jay Inslee, who is so low in reality that he doesn’t appear in the Real Clear Politics numbers (nor most other polls, and 44% have never heard of him), but, they are way out there. They’re all nuts. But, hey, at least Bernie isn’t calling to “bring deniers to justice” like in 2016. Yet.
And this all shows just how crazy the Cult of Climastrology is.

“PRE-CRIME NATION: College Student Arrested, Stripped of Firearms for Posting Social Media Meme
Freedom of speech is dead in America, as the Orwellian nightmare escalates.” by Shane Trejo
22-year-old Connecticut resident Brandon Wagshol was arrested on Friday for posting a meme on social media that authorities claim indicated he showed an interest in committing a mass shooting.
Brandon Wagshol was just arraigned in Norwalk Superior Court. His bond was kept at $250,000, and the judge ruled he can only post it at the courthouse after a hearing. That way the prosecutor can put conditions on his release.

He was arrested after law enforcement received an anonymous tip about the meme, which prompted the arrest of Wagshol as pre-crime becomes a reality as the Bill of Rights becomes a fading memory.
“What I understand is that he didn’t make any comments on Facebook, but there may have been other memes, as they call them, that he might have reposted,†said Darnell Crosland, who is representing Wagshol as his attorney.
In addition, Wagshol’s firearms were seized under Connecticut’s red flag law – in what will become the new status quo across the country if federal lawmakers get their way. The firearms found in Crosland’s home were legal and registered to his father, but were taken anyway.”
