LOL, thanks BPC.

I think both people who say climate change is a liberal/Chinese hoax, and those who say “if we don’t stop it ASAP, we are DOOMED”, are ridiculous.

My view: Climate change is real, it’s caused by human actions, and it’s really NBD in the grand scheme of things. But I am very much down with a “Green New Deal” or “Green Apollo Project”, because I’d love to bankrupt Russia and Middle Eastern goverments, and I do believe coal is really bad due to the particulate emissions (not the CO2, I don’t care about that as it’s not a toxin) and the destruction of mountaintops, pollution of streams, etc.

And what AOC said was definitely quite stupid.
