Climate and Weather

Byrd was a public racist who eventually matured to disavow his youthful behavior.

Do you see a lesson there?


There is NO lesson there, he was a racist and continued to be one until death.
It's inexcusable what he did. The only reason you are trying to support his disgusting behavior
is you don't have the Cajones to stomach the truth.

I'm not know nor have I ever been a Democrat or a racist....
What's your point Magoo?
Nevermind...unless something has changed, you have no point.

Al Gore held a town hall event on CNN about climate change. Stacey Moeller, a Democrat from Wyoming, asked Gore if he saw any moral or ethical issues with tossing thousands of people out of work when there are no jobs in these communities to replace the ones lost in the coal market. She said she cares about the environment, but couldn’t vote Democratic in the last election. CNN host Anderson Cooper also added that scores of coal miners voted for Trump in 2016 on his promise to end the regulatory onslaught on the coal mining industry that was launched under the Obama administration.

Gore said that there was a moral obligation to help coal miners find new jobs, maybe even better jobs, and provide the training for such employment. Workers in other sectors have been hearing about job retraining for years whenever a new free trade agreement is being debated on the Hill. They know it’s a crock. Gore made some points about the shifts in the coal market, the automated phase it’s undergone that cut jobs and the undercapitalization that hurt jobs, but let’s not forget the Obama White House’s war on coal. A war that if he had won, and some could argue that he has in some way, could have cost us over 125,000 jobs, $90 billion in wages, and $650 billion in lost economic activity over a ten year period thanks to Obama wrapping red tape around this industry’s neck.



Let’s not forget Hillary Clinton’s remarks about coal miners during the 2016 election: she wanted to put them out of business. Yet, have no fear; she had a $30 billion “sorry, I screwed you over” support package for these workers, which would do nothing with the amount in lost wages. Even Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a friend of the Clintons, found the remark appalling. So, it should come to no one's surprise that she lost that primary. It just shows the disconnect between urban and rural. The ivory tower progressives view the destruction of coal miner’s livelihoods as a positive in the fight to save the planet from the phantom threat of global warming. Everyone else would see this as nothing more than a quasi-regional genocide of a region’s economic life blood.
 
We are falling behind in the world, thanks to the deniers and now Trump. China and other countries are and will continue to be the leaders of the new world economy. We are missing the boat as are policies attempt to bring back soon to be obsolete sources of energy.

Just breathe in and out, repeat until your hyperventilating subsides.
