Jay Inslee drops out of the Democrat Clown Car (ie: presidential race) - the timing is interesting. Breitbart:
Jay Inslee Quits 2020 Race — Before His Long-Awaited Climate Change Debate
Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington state announced Wednesday evening on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show that he is leaving the 2020 presidential race — two weeks before a climate change debate for which he had campaigned.
Maddow began by asking Inslee if he had some news to announce. And he did:
This show has been so good to me, this is sort of the book ends of my campaign. We started saying climate change had to be the number one job in the United States. I felt good saying that the first days of my campaign. I feel very good saying that now. And the reason is, this has become more urgent. A billion tons of ice melted in Greenland the other day. But we’ve also had so many people I’ve met who are inspiring, who want us to act, who have helped me. We had 130,000 people help me in this campaign. But it’s become clear that I’m not going to be carrying the ball, I’m not going to be president. So I’m withdrawing, tonight, from the race. But I have to tell you, look — I’ve been fighting climate change for 25 years, and I’ve never been so confident of the ability of America now to reach critical mass, to move the ball. I believe we are going to have a candidate to fight this battle. I’m inspired by the people i’ve met across the country, the young people in the Sunrise movement, and the climate strikers — these people have given me confidence we can move ahead. So I’m not going to be carrying the ball, but we’re going to make sure somebody is.
Kind of hard to debate something that is not happening. The humans on this planet account for about 30% of the CO2 emissions. Natural biological decay, volcanoes, etc... account for the other 70%. CO2 is not a greenhouse gas - water vapor is much more potent.
People love to talk about a new green deal but it is just that - talk. Narrative, not fact. Now if we could just get this time (and money) waster out of office and get back to work...
