Beto O'Rourke's 'Ambitious Climate Plan' Is Even Worse Than the Green New Deal

. . . "The Green New Deal would cost at least $49 trillion — some estimates place it at $93 trillion. Ocasio-Cortez's plan is a resolution, however, not a bill. By contrast, O'Rourke's plan — which adopts many of the Green New Deal's worst proposals — is a presidential candidate's platform, spelled out in executive orders, government grants, and legislative proposals.
"O'Rourke seems intent on repurposing the Green New Deal as his own, and visiting Yosemite National Park to prove his love for the environment.
"This radical new proposal comes at a tough time for the former congressman, however. Shortly after he entered the presidential race, another fresh-faced candidate stole his thunder. Pete Buttigieg, the military veteran and Rhodes scholar who serves as the openly gay mayor of South Bend, Ind., outpaced O'Rourke in the media and in the polls. In many ways, Buttigieg was the better Beto." . . .

PopPolitics: Ted Danson on Climate Activism, Ignorance and 2016 October 3, 2015
DO YOU REMEMBER "Algore: "We Have Ten Years Left Before Earth Cooks' "
"in 2006 Al Gore said these words that struck fear into people around the world.
"Here is 9 years and a dozen days later and we are no where near cooking. there is now only 326 days and the tepratures are no where near where Al Gore said they would be. Before that we had Ted Danson say in 1988, We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death.
"1998 came and went and not a single death from the resulted.
"Here are a few more predictions made over the last 35 years" . . .
1) At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel Calder warned, “The threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind.”
2) The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age. — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
3) A high-priority government report warns of climate change that will lead to floods and starvation. ‘Leading climatologists’ speak of a ‘detrimental global climatic change,’ threatening ‘the stability of most nations.’ The scenario is eerily familiar although the document – never made public before – dates from 1974. But here’s the difference: it was written to respond to the threat of global cooling, not warming. And yes, it even mentions a ‘consensus’ among scientists. — Maurizio Morabito
Al Gore has been accused of profiting from the climate change agenda amid claims he is on course to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire”.
Five Ways We Know Al Gore's Been Running A Global Warming Racket . . . Ten years later, he's probably hoping that everyone has forgotten about his categorical statement.
"The terrible truth for Gore is that there is no planetary emergency. Not one of the dire predictions he and the rest of the alarmist community made has come to pass. In fact, there is plenty of evidence that they have been running a racket. Here's how we know:
"One, Earth hasn't warmed in nearly 20 years." . . .
