Robert Reich has long been a leading proponent of Big Government, so, it’s not surprising as to what solutions he has up his “green” sleeve
Robert Reich: The Solutions To The Climate Crisis No One Is Talking About – OpEd
In light of the latest IPCC report on climate change, it’s crucial we remember these four steps to avoiding a climate catastrophe.
First, create green jobs. Investing in renewable energy could create millions of family sustaining, union jobs and build the infrastructure we need for marginalized communities to access clean water and air.
If these jobs were so much in demand the private sector would creating them. What he’s talking about are government jobs, overpaid ones, that are unionized to create an incestuous relationship between the unions and Government
Second, stop dirty energy. A massive investment in renewable energy jobs isn’t enough to combat the climate crisis. If we are going to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we must tackle the problem at its source: Stop digging up and burning more oil, gas, and coal.
Third, kick fossil fuel companies out of our politics. For decades, companies like Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and BP have been polluting our democracy by pouring billions of dollars into our politics and bankrolling elected officials to enact policies that protect their profits. The oil and gas industry spent over $103 million on the 2016 federal elections alone.
In other words, to hell with the Constitution, to hell with the principles this country was founded on, just straight up go for authoritarianism. Weird that Warmists like Reich won’t voluntarily give up their own use of “dirty energy”, eh?
Fourth, require the fossil fuel companies that have profited from environmental injustice to compensate the communities they’ve harmed. As if buying off our democracy wasn’t enough, these corporations have also deliberately misled the public for years on the amount of damage their products have been causing. If these solutions sound drastic to you, it’s because they are. They have to be if we have any hope of keeping our planet habitable. The climate crisis is not a far-off apocalyptic nightmare — it is our present day.
If you banned the fossil fuels companies, how do you get money from defunct businesses? Also, how do these big shot Warmists move around without limos and jets? This is straight up government theft of legally earned money. Nobody should be surprised by any of this, the Cult of Climstrology is not about science, but, politics

UN 2021: 6th Climate Assessment
It’s all bad. it’s only going to get worse. It is civilization’s last chance. Red Alert for humankind….
But a massive energy transformation can avert the worst part. “The innovations in this report, and advances in climate science that it reflects,â€Â said IPCC chair Hoesung Lee, “provide an invaluable input into climate negotiations and decision-making.â€
That’s about all you need to know about the latest from the IPCC.

Reality Check: UN 1989
History matters. And in the climate debate, mankind’s long concern about climate and recent angst about global warming are worth revisiting for both perspective and optimism.
Reprinted below is an AP report from 1989 on the consensus of United Nations on climate change. I report; you decide ….
UNITED NATIONS (AP) _ A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
How’d that work out? they’ve been pushing this Doom since 1989. Lots more at the link.
