he needs to go back to Slick Willie when he quickly pivited back to the center
Bill Clinton had a mastery of the political. That's how he managed to get to the presidency. Yes, he wanted some things he didn't get. But Biden nor even Bill's insignificant other have the ability to not "joist the windmills". Bill made a deal. He got with congressional leaders in 94 when the election went against him. and they worked out a deal so that Bill was able to claim victory. "Workfare" and funding police came out of that effort. He got some little piece of what he wanted and the Republicans got some little piece of what they wanted. Since then, neither R nor D seem willing to compromise. My way or the highway. And the Ds tolerated the radical socialists in the party never realizing that as weary of the neocon Reps that the Tea Party was, the "normal" Ds did not want Bernie but they would vote for him as a protest against the direction of the party.
Bernie scared them this time. The DNC thought allowing a non-Democrat socialist run on the Democrat ticket would "prove" that the Ds were centrists after all. In fact, Bernie drew votes from not just the radical left, but from dis-enfranchised college students, and a huge protest vote against the present DNC management. And he darn near won it only to be beaten by a concerted effort to push other voices back and go with good old tried and trite Joe. It worked to a point but Joe - enfeebled as he was, had to turn left to keep the Bernie bros happy. So we get the anti-oil movement in full swing when the obvious is over-looked.
1. CO2 may or may not be the cause of global warming
2. Methane and CO2 are tiny amounts of the gases called "greenhouse" gases. The biggest by far is water vapor
3. None of the models work...most predict a slow warming until a "breaking point" (that no one knows can happen let alone will) where we reach some climate tipping point.
4. The world was much warmer at least 3 times during the last 4,000 years. And the north pole has been ice free before.
5. A warmer world may, in fact, be a benefit. Why is it a given that it is "bad"?
6. By the IPCCs own admission, "climate change" has not increased flooding, forest fires, nor has it raised the ocean levels. These are all predicted future events...that may never happen.
We have proven oil reserves for decades to come. The transition to a different fuel is in the future. Wind and solar are not "renewables" rather they are "intermittent" sources of power as Marine LePen so cleverly put it. A slow transition allows time to adjust to the cost, to reduce the cost, and predict the cost of such an energy transition. Nuclear power almost certainly has to figure into that equation.
