NY Times Seems Upset That GOP Convention Isn’t All About Climate Doom

I wonder how much about ‘climate change’ will be at the DNC? I’m sure it will be mentioned, but, I’m betting it will mostly be about Trump. Though, the DNC will surely include some speeches about taking reliable, affordable, dependable fossil fuels from the peasants

At the Republican National Convention, Climate Change Isn’t a Problem

st greta carThe United States is experiencing scorching new levels of heat fueled by climate change this summer, with dozens of people dying in the West, millions sweating under heat advisories and nearly three-quarters of Americans saying the government must prioritize global warming.

But as the Republican Party opens its national convention in Milwaukee with a prime-time focus on energy on Monday night, the party has no plan to address climate change.

While some Republicans no longer deny the overwhelming scientific consensus that the planet is warming because of human activity, party leaders do not see it as a problem that needs to be addressed.

“I don’t know that there is a Republican approach to climate change as an organizing issue,” said Thomas J. Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, a conservative research group focused on energy. “I don’t think President Trump sees reducing greenhouse gases, using the government to do so, as an imperative.”

No, we really don’t, especially since the Democrats version of Doing Something is mostly all about implementing government control over citizens while removing their freedom and life choices.

The party platform, issued last week, makes no mention of climate change. Instead, it encourages more production of oil, gas and coal, the burning of which is dangerously driving up global temperatures. “We will DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” it says, referring to oil as “liquid gold.”

It really should mention implementing next generation nuclear power stations, and spending on research for true clean alternatives.

By contrast, Mr. Biden has taken the most aggressive action of any president to cut emissions from coal, oil and gas and encourage a transition to wind, solar and other carbon-free energy. He has directed every federal agency from the Agriculture Department to the Pentagon to consider how climate change is affecting their core missions.

Weirdly, the Times fails to mention the vast amounts of fossil fuels Biden uses every week with all his limos, helicopter, and airplanes. Nor the huge number of people who will be taking fossil fueled trips to Chicago for the DNC.

    Why would democrats expect the Republican convention to be about Democratic party make-believe issues? Republicans have plenty of real stuff to work on. Maybe the Democrats would have their own convention and then they can talk about whatever they like. Hot topic #1: How can we get rid of Joe Biden without it LOOKING like we are getting rid of Joe Biden? In totalitarian governments, it is very unpopular to be the first person to take a stand on anything that hasn’t already been group approved.

    Radio this morning: Heat wave in Virginia is unprecedented. We haven’t had this many days this hot since the 1920’s.

    Evidently, the word “unprecedented” isn’t on the SAT test anymore.

    A private company. A private company is building a new type of nuclear power plant in Wyoming.

    Funded by Bill Gates.

    TOPLINE A next generation nuclear power plant from Bill Gates-founded TerraPower is set to begin construction in Kemmerer, Wyoming this June, according to the Financial Times, marking the start of a larger initiative from the company that aims to bring more affordable and efficient reactors to a competitive nuclear energy market.

    There are many ways that the pressure put on the general market will defeat that evil CO2 without shutting down fossil fuels prematurely. Even NOAA wrote a report stating that Hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, heat waves, droughts, and wildfires are not significantly higher than they have been since 1850.

    Allowing the markets to work effectively will make the USA stronger going forward, and then pretty soon, China, Russia, and DOWD will be attacking green energy because it has made the USA too strong for the world to handle.

    I have said a 1000 times that I do not care who wins the energy battle. Green or fossil fuels. I only care that if there is to be a transition it is slow, painless and very effective in maintaining the USA and the WESTS dominance on this planet.

    Yes I am like that. I believe in the democratic values of the collective WEST and am pretty sure Russia, Iran, China, and other bad actors do not have the world’s best interest as a centerpiece of their foreign policy.

    We already know: if elected, Donald Trump will issue no new global warming climate change fighting regulations, and we are hoping that he’ll cancel the ones already issued under the dummkopf from Delaware.

      What does the 2025 project say about this. Likely something about burning tires in your front yards to celebrate Earth Day. I already do this so don’t accuse me of jumping on the bandwagon when everyone else starts doing it next year.

  4. CT Ginger says:

    I have no doubt the climate is changing. In 70+ years of observing I see change is the only constant. If anyone can, could someone provide me with evidence, (I don’t need proof) that greenhouse gasses are the cause of, rather than the result of climate change? I’ve been an amateur astronomer for forty years. I read the literature. Even the pros are woefully ignorant about solar cycles. We do know that the sun provides most of the earth heat and, if it’s getting warmer, solar activity would be the most likely suspect.

    Who would expect the increasingly reactionary MAGA Party to be concerned about the Earth’s environment? Trump and his minions have made it clear that 1) they want to establish an authoritarian, white, Christian nation, 2) succor the superwealthy and 3) withdraw from the rest of the world.

      Your insanity knows no bounds you degenerate bastard. Thank heaven you’re not a Christian cause if you were they’d throw you out. You’re just a hateful religious bigot and racist. That’s all you’ve ever been.

      Now you can add raw political hate for your fellow Americans to you’re already formidable list of unaccomplished events. I don’t think I’ve ever run across a person on the Internet as foul as you are. And I’ve run across a few.

      You don’t realize that what we believe we believe because we think it’s best for America and our people. You think teaching homosexuality and trans sexualism to five year olds is good. That telling 8 year old children to cut off their penises because they’re transsexual. To invite unvetted people of all nations into the United states without the slightest care in the world whether or not they love our country or not whether they wanna help our country or hurt it or what’s even worse destroy it. You don’t care about their victims the many women raped and murdered nor do you care about the men who’s lost their jobs because of them. You don’t care about anything but your own raw political power which makes you the perfect Nazi Democrat. You would kill us all tomorrow if it would keep the senile pedophile in the White House.

        Is there not even a single issue you’d like to discuss?? You are so filled with hate (from self-hatred, obviously), yet cocksure about your own beliefs. You hate immigrants. Check. You hate those violent blacks. Check. You hate those perverted fags, lesbians and trannies. Check. You hate those violent Muslims. Check. You hate atheists and agnostics. Check.

        “Good” American men rape and murder at a much higher rate than do “unvetted” immigrant men. Should we do a better job of “vetting” American men?

        Care to discuss abortion, Secret Service, Project 2025, global warming, the debt, foreign aid, religion, immigration in a constructive manner?

        I’ll start: In your opinion, when does a fertilized human egg become a “person”, therefore deserving of absolute protection?

          This from a fatass who just 2 days ago claimed Trump faked an assassination attempt on himself.
          Constructive indeed.

          Fuck off, loser. https://www.thepiratescove.us/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_bye.gif

      Oh, my-more assertion without evidence…..shocking

    obviously you mean that as a rhetorical question because the minute it was put on paper you started lying about things that I hate none of which I hate. So immediately you start attacking me based on lies.

    Of course I hate those violent Muslims they have declared themselves an enemy of the United states just like communist and Nazis at and I hate them too why do you caress and love the enemies of our nation?

    You are so filled with hate (from self-hatred, obviously), yet cocksure about your own beliefs.

    If I weren’t cocksure about my own beliefs I wouldn’t believe them. Aren’t you cocksure about your beliefs or you believe in things you think are false?

    You hate immigrants. Check.

    How many times have I explained to you on this blog that I don’t hate immigrants. In fact my two girlfriends are both immigrants one’s Cuban and one’s Colombian. I’ve also dated several Russian girls 2 black girls and three or four Asians. Does that sound like somebody who hates immigrants you moron? We can’t discuss anything because you keep going over old turf. It’s almost as if I tell you something in a week later it’s completely gone out of your head like you never heard it to begin with.

    You hate those violent blacks. Check.

    I also hate those violent whites those violent Asians and those violent Mexicans in fact I hate criminals of all colors races and creeds. Don’t you?

    You hate those perverted fags, lesbians and trannies.

    I don’t hate them I hate what they do and the fact that they seem to try and brainwash people like you the weak minded into thinking that it’s all OK to use perversion on children.

    You hate those violent Muslims. Check.

    You hate atheists and agnostics. Check.

    Of course I hate those violent Muslims they have declared themselves an enemy of the United states just like communist and Nazis and I hate them too. Why do you caress and love the enemies of our nation?

    I do not hate atheists and agnostics I think they’re wrong and they amuse me. Nothing amuses me more that a person who has nothing to believe in. You can see it in the way they act in life that they’re not going anywhere and they know it.

    I’ll start: In your opinion, when does a fertilized human egg become a “person”, therefore deserving of absolute protection?

    Just like anybody else here I’m glad that discuss anything you want. However, I expect you to respect my opinion if you want me to respect yours.

    I think a being becomes a person when they have their own distinct DNA. When that is I do not know and right now I don’t have time to look it up.
