Republican fascists following their overlords commands to block any form of action to help end our environmental Crises!
Congress Voted Against a Carbon Tax:
***:The House just passed a resolution, H. Con. Res. 119, expressing the “sense of Congress” that any tax on carbon “would be detrimental to American families and businesses, and is not in the best interest of the United States.”
Six Republicans — four of them in the Climate Solutions Caucus — voted against the resolution. The remaining 37 members of the caucus voted exactly the way the Koch brothers told them to vote — against a climate solution.
The caucus is a joke, or it would be were climate change not so serious.
Fact check: we’re not going to advance climate solutions with bipartisanship. The only way we’re going to achieve progress on climate change is by voting out these climate peacocks who squawk about joining the caucus, but just voted with the rest of the fossil fueled party."*

I know fossil fuels is very dangerous, that is a hell of way to get rid of the over population.
Ford, made an entire car out hemp and it was fuel on hemp too. What was wrong with that. Does it hurt the 1℅ over high profits.
A vote of 193 countries to one (not) Trump signed the Paris accord. I been to China where you can not see the sun because of coal. An American average career coal miner lives to age 50. Alberta Tar sands produce more carbon emissions than all the cars in Canada. Now Trump wants US to be number one as an oil producers by fracking everywhere. That simply high treason and criminal.
