Harris, Ocasio-Cortez Announce Landmark Legislation to Ensure Green New Deal Lifts Up Every Community
Climate Equity Act will hold government accountable to interests of communities who have faced historic, systemic environmental injustice
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris (D-CA) and U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) on Monday announced the Climate Equity Act, a draft legislative proposal to ensure that the United States government makes communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis the foundation of policy related to climate and the environment, including the policies to build a Green New Deal. To that end, frontline community leaders will have an opportunity to provide feedback on this legislative proposal prior to its formal introduction this fall.
At its core, a Green New Deal must be based on three principles: First, fighting climate change by ending the use of fossil fuels; second, building a clean economy with good jobs of the 21st century, and third, ensuring that no community gets left behind.
The Climate Equity Act is a legislative proposal to achieve that third key principle of justice for frontline communities to guarantee that the policies comprising a future Green New Deal protect the health and economic wellbeing of all Americans for generations to come.

Kamala Harris was also part of the notorious 2016 AGs United for Clean Power effort to “Defend Climate Change Progress Made Under President Obama“, by promoting AG green activism, using the executive powers of their office to attempt to frustrate the will of voters who put President Trump into office.
The AG for Alabama had this to say about the AGs United for Clean Power group.
… this investigation inescapably implicates a public policy debate and raises substantial First Amendment concerns. As our colleagues must know, a vigorous debate exists in this country regarding the risks of climate change and the appropriate response to those risks. Both sides are well-funded and sophisticated public policy participants. Whatever our country’s response, it will affect people, communities, and businesses that all have a right to participate in this debate. Actions indicating that one side of the climate change debate should fear prosecution chills speech in violation of a formerly bi-partisan First Amendment consensus. As expressed by Justice Brandeis, it has been a foundational principle that when faced with “danger flowing from speech … the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357, 377 (1927) (Brandeis, J., concurring). Here, the remedy chosen is silence through threat of subpoena. This threat distorts the debate and impoverishes consumers and the general public who may wish to better educate themselves by hearing and evaluating both sides. …

This is not the first time Harris has acted with apparent disregard for the constitutional rights of the American people, or the proper exercise of the powers of her office.
In 2010, according to SF Gate, Judge Anne-Christine Massullo ruled Kamala Harris’ office had violated the constitutional rights of defendants, by trying to conceal a crime lab scandal from the courts and defence attorneys. The judge ruled Kamala Harris’ office had displayed “a level of indifference.” to the judge’s demands for an explanation.
Instead of apologising for this grievous error, and taking vigorous steps to investigate and correct the problems which led to the coverup and systematic violation of defendant’s constitutional rights, Kamala Harris’ office went on the attack, claiming the judge had a conflict of interest because the judge’s husband is a defence attorney with a keen interest in Brady disclosure issues. Brady disclosure is the absolute requirement for prosecutors to disclose information in their possession, even if it helps the case of defendants.
Can you imagine what a Kamala Harris presidency would be like, if you are opposed to any part of her deep green agenda, or seek to criticise her actions? Because that would be the likely outcome of a Biden victory. Even CNN thinks Biden could “step aside” for his VP.

This morning the DNC released a memo to the press, reminding them to take into count her gender and ethnicity when conducting interviews.
(I wonder if our adversaries will be as obliging if she does become president?)
In more reasonable times, such a memo would be call sexist and racist.
That memo is sexist and raciest now !

Only if it was written by a conservative/right-winger. It’s perfectly fine when written by the identity-politic following progressive/left. Remember the left have “rules for thee not for me”. That’s why you must believe all women (except those speaking out against a leftist), have zero tolerance for “black-face” (unless it was a leftist Governor or Prime Minister that was caught doing it), etc.
Griff.Lived in Scotland most of my life.Nothing unusual about the weather for as long as I can remember.Including flash floods.A few years back kids were skinny dipping in a public soccer park!
Please remember- the Scottish National Party(SNP) are the most incompetent bunch of Saltire wavers ever to reach Government.Also,for their majority in the Sottish Parliament ,they need the support of a few Green Mps.
(None of which has ever won a seat outright in an election .They still get seats due to the crazy system!

“Several indicators in the latest UK State of the Climate report show that the UK’s climate is becoming wetter. For example the highest rainfall totals over a five day period are 4% higher during the most recent decade (2008-2017) compared to 1961-1990. Furthermore, the amount of rain from extremely wet days has increased by 17% when comparing the same time periods. In addition, there is a slight increase in the longest sequence of consecutive wet days for the UK.
The change in rainfall depends on your location – for example, changes are largest for Scotland and not significant for most southern and eastern areas of England.”
Once again, any change must have been caused by CO2.
BTW, who cares what historical records show. The fact that this year’s weather is different from the weather 30 years ago proves that CO2 is the control knob for the climate.
Trolls sure are predictable.
Normally one votes for a president and the VP is basically a non-issue. In this case one can’t really be voting for Biden as he will not (maybe is already not) mentally able to run the presidency, so one is actually voting for the VP. If this does not scare people, nothing should – she could not even come close to winning her own primary but here she is going for presidency.
One can already see the effects of Alzheimer’s already at work on Biden, kind of like Reagan’s last few years.
The climate change crowd can’t tolerate debate because they have nothing to debate except for accusations and false claims.

Hydroxychloroquine works in high-risk patients, and saying otherwise is dangerous
by Harvey Risch August 12, 2020 10:29 AM
“As of Wednesday, some 165,000 people in the United States have died from COVID-19. I have made the case in the American Journal of Epidemiology and in Newsweek that people who have a medical need to be treated can be treated early and successfully with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibiotics such as azithromycin or doxycycline. I have also argued that these drugs are safe and have made that case privately to the Food and Drug Administration.
The pushback has been furious. Dr. Anthony Fauci has implied that I am incompetent, notwithstanding my hundreds of highly regarded, methodologically relevant publications in peer-reviewed scientific literature. A group of my Yale colleagues has publicly intimated that I am a zealot who is perpetrating a dangerous hoax and conspiracy theory. I have been attacked in news articles by journalists who, ignorant of the full picture, have spun hit pieces from cherry-picked sources.
These personal attacks are a dangerous distraction from the real issue of hydroxychloroquine’s effectiveness, which is solidly grounded in both substantial evidence and appropriate medical decision-making logic. Much of the evidence is presented in my articles.
To date, there are no studies whatsoever, published or in pre-print, that provide scientific evidence against the treatment approach for high-risk outpatients that I have described. None. Assertions to the contrary, whether by Fauci, the FDA, or anyone else, are without foundation. They constitute misleading and toxic disinformation.”

Griff.I LIVE in the damn country.Think these small %ages ,if they are accurate- which is open to doubt- and measured over a huge time scale NOT! make any difference to our lives? Disasters such as the train derailment are more likely to be caused by poor judgement ,unsafe equipment and\or crumbling infrastructure.And if ” Climate Change ” is responsible, surely it’s better to spend money alleviating events rather than on useless “renewables” which will make no difference to the climate.Climate is always changing.But CO2 does not cause drastic climate change and we certainly DON’T have that in Sotland.
Griff still hasn’t taken my bet.
To return to the thread- the lady has wonderful dentition which is worth a huge number of votes.
The Kamala-Ocasio principle that climate impact must be evaluated based on how much it impacts black people is racist and illogical and it implies the racist illogic that the prescribed climate action of not using fossil fuels should also be evaluated on how much it impacts black people.

Will she be in charge of the special ops teams at DOJ to thin out more GOP Senators ahead of key votes?
And they need to restock the moles at FBI, IRS, and State Dept.
The ideology of climate change and goals for green energy killed off the Labor Party here in Oz in the last election. I am sure it helped Trump over the line as well, on top of the relentless bad publicity by the main stream media. You can rave on about green energy production, but you must demonstrate the cost and benefits. Such as consumer energy cost, reliability and a measure in the reduction of global temperature. Trump might be a loose cannon, but he really has no opposition.
