Hillary Clinton has long had a massive carbon footprint, using vast amounts of fossil fuels to travel around while a Senator, Secretary of State, and as a private citizen. Now she’s using vast amounts to run for president. She takes vast amounts of money from the fossil fuels industry. Hey, just ask Greenpeace. Her foundation takes vast amounts of money from countries whose primary source of income is fossil fuels. So, this takes some cajones
(The Hill) Hillary Clinton knocked the climate policies of Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R), a high-powered ally of Republican nominee Donald Trump, on Monday.
Speaking in Florida, Clinton highlighted the heavy impact climate change is expected to have on the state. She said Scott should work to invest in green energy jobs, rather than pursue a ban on discussions of climate change there.
The Florida Center for Investigative Reporting last year reported that Scott’s administration had barred employees of the sate Department of Environmental Protection from using the term “climate change†in official communications. Scott denied that report, but it still drew scorn from Democrats, including the White House.
No one can provide actual proof to that allegation. In fact, the Miami Herald article (see the “reported” link) could offer nothing, just allegations. There are no official policies.
“You have a governor who actually put out an edict — I mean, this is hard to believe, a governor who put out an edict directing state employees never to say or write the words ‘climate change.’ †she said.
Says the woman who refuses to hold press conferences, and has a giant carbon footprint. And shut down women who credibly accused her husband of sexual assault. Perhaps she could actually provide proof of her assertion that Scott banned the term? No?
“That sounds absurd, which of course it is, but it’s also missing a great economic opportunity. Florida could be the center of solar energy in the entire country.â€
Sure, let’s cover up the Everglades with solar panels. That’d go over well with the environmentals.
