Beto O'Rourke Warns: Only 10 Years Left to Act on Climate Change |
2019-04-02 |
[PJMedia] WASHINGTON -- Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), a 2020 presidential candidate, predicted that the U.S. has 10 years left to act on climate change. Down from 12. No point adding more to my 401k I guess. Let's party down! "At this point there can be no shadow of a doubt that our own excesses and emissions and inaction politically and as a country and a democracy, where each of us comprise the government, have led to the warming we've seen so far -- one degree Celsius just since 1980," O'Rourke said during the "We the People Membership Forum" in Washington on Monday. "I direct you to Valencia from Florida, whose question I just listened to backstage -- how does this First World country create second-class citizens who face Third World conditions?" It is called socialist policies and graft To support his position on climate change, O'Rourke referred to the "58 inches of rain that fell from the sky" in Houston. He called on lawmakers to start "confronting climate change before it is too late, within the 10 years we have left to us to act." How many times has the green priests and believers screamed at us that weather isn't climate? Oh it is different when you do it because shut up. Got it. O'Rourke said he would join the Paris climate agreement that President Trump withdrew from in 2017. "As ambitious as those are, [they] are not ambitious enough," O'Rourke said of the agreement. O'Rourke promised that he would sign an executive order on the first day of his presidency requiring all cabinet secretaries to hold town hall meetings with the public each month "to listen to you and be accountable to you." Um... that isn't their job. And what good would it do other than to waste their time with true believers (who are very ignorant usually) screaming at them about whatever the emergency dejour is? The more Beto opens his mouth the more of a dumbass he sounds. |

#22 I'm sure they'll still be talking about global worming at the heat death of the universe. |

#21 This is becoming like Zeno's Paradox - but instead of going halfway each step, you have to go 10 years. I'm sure we'll get there eventually. |

#20 Apropos #19, internet time has made most time oriented predictions useless. If it doesn't happen by the end of the YouTube video, it's time for a bong or to go out for craft beers and mini tacos. |

#19 These things always remind me of Ghostbusters 2 when Vinkman interviews the guy who says the worlds going to end on new Years and Bill Murray responds, why not delay it to get some book sales out of it, or something along those lines. 100 years is too distant for anyone to care, 10 years is too easily proven incorrect. |

#17 Tried to embed the link. Fixed. M. Murcek, you need to attach a bit of text In order to make the link visible — it was sitting there quietly in the comment, awaiting that last step. ;-) First type in a bit of text, then highlight it, then click on the hyperlink icon, and finally paste the link into the pop up box. |

#7 Native Spanish? I get a kick out of regional dialects, I'd like to hear that bit and take a guess at it. I'm going to guess first...."I'd like the numero dos combo por favor." - from Carlos O'Kelly's |

#3 Maybe Robert should read up a little more. Like this meteorologist's opinion: Climate Change Agenda Driven by Hysteria, not Facts |

#2 Did he say this in his 'native Spanish'? |

#1 If he's not willing to back up his predication by say, agreeing to be burnt at the stake in ten years when his predication doesn't come true, then I'll just assume he's a lying, posturing Nazi like all other Democrats. |
