What About The Actual Facts?

I tuned into the Town Hall for Elizabeth Warren last night.  I watched for at least 30 seconds.  Warren fielded a question from a young black man who announced that those hardest hit in this country by climate change are people of color and who then asked Warren what she would do about it.  Warren began her response by talking about the importance of "climate change justice".  That was enough for me; I turned that nonsense off.

Think about this.  There is a debate about the existence and the cause of climate change; Warren and the questioner don't care about that debate.  That's fine.  The problem, though, is that their climate change position is predicated on predictions that a rise in greenhouse gases will cause the earth to warm by between 2 and 3 degrees over the next century.  How does a rise in the winter from lows of 42 to 44 degrees cause major harm especially to people of color?  How does a rise in the summer high temperatures from 90 to 92 cause major harm especially to people of color?  Just asking the question shows how silly it is.

Believe it or not, everything is not dependent on race.  The moron who asked the question does not understand this.  Warren should know better.  Either she does and should not be president because she is pandering to racists, or she doesn't and is therefore too stupid or misguided to be president.
