4:19 Yeah – I don't get this either – we need to make zero-emissions and carbon capture (planting trees, technical processes, whatever) our first line of business now – and make the doubters shut up – we can debate them later, thanks to immediate actions of those with information and half a brain
I know who will pass the Green New Deal and sign into law once we flip the senate blue too in 2020 #bernie2020
Jesus relax with the "climate crisis" talking point. Sure, the temp with rise by a couple degrees and things will change, it's not the end of the world.
LOL keep your hokey religion out of politics.
Bernie 2020
2020 will be the most important election ever? Paul, I thought that was in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016. Are people going to figure out that only the DEMs can save us before it's too late? There is an answer; vote for me and I'll make the minimum wage $150.00 an hour. Surely the people that want leftists can figure out that's 10 times better. Actually who needs numbers? I'll force us to go to 100% renewables in minus two years. We already know that more than 10% is not workable but 100% is needed to stop the human deep-frier we all clearly see upon us. I'll make using math and data a criminal offense. I'll make ice cream a mandatory staple in every home. It's cool and the science clearly says it cools and I calculated "scientifically" 300 million gallons or so will stop forest fires and global warming. Not to mention it tastes good too. What could possibly go wrong?
Allan Savory has a plan to put CO2 back to pre-industrial levels. No one is listening!
You mean the people's representatives don't want to take them on…..The people DO.
We have been under a capitalists coup for the last 50 years
It is nearing completion.
Educate eachother on MMT
we know how to pay for it
The solution is knowing how the $ can be spent by our Congress per Article one section 8 of OUR Constitution.
How you gonna pay for it?
Congress will pass a bill to fund it.
Simple.
Federal taxes DO not fund government spending. per our Constitution Article one section 8 states that only Congress can Mandate spending and taxation.
#LearnMMT Look up Dr Stephanie Kelton
Unlearn the LIE. ….then when the light bulb of truth opens your eyes and minds…..TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF CONGRESS. ….that yes we can get this all done….with leadership by….and for….the people and planet!!!!! Start sharing the truth…
Jane and Bernie are my heroes!!!!!
100% private carbon dividends = 0% for Bernie
Jane, why won''t you & Bernie join the Green Party? The corporate democrats in power will NEVER be on board with Climate Change, single payer, gun control, ending wars or raising minimum wage. This former "party of the people" has sold the people out too many times. Young people will stay home, their trust in 2 party system is gone. A sinking ship can only be patched so many times. Bernie will win a landslide if he runs Green.
Paul, you sound out of touch with so-called "normal people" who place climate change lower on their list. This is because food, clothing & shelter are basic needs that cannot wait. If a sick child needs a doctor & parents don't have healthcare, guess what is their top priority? Even working 2 P/t minimum wage will not cut it. Too many people are focused on surviving 1 day at a time to worry about what they perceive as a future threat. Time to park your car & ride the bus around Baltimore for a few weeks.
progressive my ass. hitler was hailed as a great progressive. but like hitler, theses progressives never say what they are progressing towards. history has shown they progress towards socialism, if not communism…….not progressive by any stretch of the imagination.
I applaud the enthusiasm these two have regarding solving the climate crisis, but they are dead wrong about that being the number one problem facing humanity. The number one problem is capitalism/plutocracy/fascism (really just all versions of the same thing). If humanity doesn't deal with that problem and move forward to a truly equal, just, and democratic path, not one of these other crucial issues will be successfully dealt with, and that includes the climate crisis.
Fundamentally I agree with these guys. However, I think it's important to stick to realistic science. Don't say we're all going to die, because we aren't. Some people will, but certainly not all of us. The reality is bad enough. If we overstate it, the opposition will use it against us.
I notice that all the usual suspects are trolling here , trying to smear Bernie . You yankee right wing losers , are the reason the states are so fucked up . If you can't help to make things better , then you are part of the problem .
Thank you, Paul Jay. I appreciate this very direct commentary. Until we address citizens united, we are all in Big Trouble. Corporations have to be held accountable. Insurance Companies need to be held accountable. Institutions have to be held accountable. Colleges and Universities have to be held accountable, and there should be transparent accounting of who is paying for what research and what science. MOB Control needs to be removed. And the Smith Mundt Act addressed NOW. Otherwise, even Goddard is a farce.
I think that by the EOY 2019, LENR will be a new entrant to clean energy sources suitable for industrial scale production/utilization. This is a technology that has the capacity to fully transform the Global Energy Production industry away from all fossil fuels as well as nuclear power plants. A revolutionary new clean abundant safe energy source that will take time to gain acceptance because it comes off as too good to be real.
However, the US Navy is following through on LENR as it recognizes that it will be the end of the fossil/nuclear fuel industries though it will take decades to fully migrate the global economies off these now antiquated energy sources.

Global Warming is a real thing
If you have something good post it if not do not do it please do not embarrass yourselves
Dear GOP lovers I meant it what i posted before if you a something good say it if not keep it do not waste our time with your horse crap no disrespect love you and happy Christmas with your love ones
Bernie should have demanded accountability and oversight on elections demostically. But he didn't. And if we can't insure legitimate elections, we can't really deliver on anything. Jane is actually promoting insurance companies controlling our lives. I live where the fires took place I understand them and "climate change" had nothing to do with them. The funding of our fire departments had more to do with that anything else. The Carr fire and the Camp fire wouldn't have gotten out of control if our fire departments didn't have constricted budgets.
Out of curiosity is there a reliable weather model that offers any validity to the climate change crisis?
Jane, it's not at all ridiculous to be dramatic. Among the people who do have a sense of urgency, many or most feel they are practically powerless. The forces who want us ignorantly coccooned in the pursuit of capitalist status quo, are vastly powerful. We need leaders who dare to be dramatic.
The 4th estate has definitely let everyone down. Thank you Paul, for providing an alternative.
Oh how the trolls love to comment on TheRealNews with their Bernie bashing. If you can't suggest a better alternative than Bernie then keep you comments to yourself!
We can be confident that Jane, as First Lady, will have a huge impact on society with her initiatives. She’ll be ‘The Best’.
Been a long while since we had a first lady with real heart and substance.
Ol' Comrade Bernie will do is dupe more young suckers to vote Democrat. Drop out and collect his shekels like in 2016. Buy another house.
climate is critical, we cannot live on a polluted planet, that is getting hotter and hotter
If climate is so critical, why not give John Delaney a little coverage?
Sorry if I don't buy into the climate hysteria. Climate change is natural and has always existed and can't be controlled by man. I am tired of it being used politically even by people like the Sanders and so many others. It's become a popular meme.

This old hippy/boomer isn't buying into it. Climate change isn't going to erase mankind, but it may erase many highly profitable waterside properties. Sorry if I am not willing to mitigate those risks for the wealthy.
