Pantload.
Cities in Florida being underwater at high tide is not Marco Rubio's nightmare scenario. President Kamala Harris declaring climate change an emergency is.

And if I were Speaker Pelosi, I'd be working on my State of the Union Address.

Their politics is such an anachronism they don't realize their complaints serve to reveal the worst about their own objectionable, ignorant selves instead of harming their targets.

No baking to get a tan. Sweet!
I think it's her brains and spirit which pisses them off.

Wait until the folks in Texas whose land is being sought for seizure by the feds for Trump's Wall get their backs up.

(21,702 posts)Rubio asking a question like this is not good news for drumpf. Basically letting drumpf know that the GOP is not on board with the national emergency bullshit.
Of course in typical GOP fashion they will reign concern and probably bow down to drumpf in the end.

Billions of people are going to die from this within the next century.
More than any pandemic or plague, more than a world war, the devastation will be apocalyptic.

How can someone from Florida not be alarmed about climate change?
