What was Mike Lee thinking?
I don’t know what Sen. Mike Lee was thinking when he addressed the Senate using his comic book approach to argue against the Green New Deal, offering no alternative to dealing with climate change and its fiscal and physical effects.
With no changes in our behaviors, we will be spending hundreds of billions of dollars dealing with the damage caused by floods, fires, mudslides and high-energy weather events attributed to our changing climate.
Let’s deal with the facts and data in a responsible way, even if the Green New Deal is not the ideal solution. But it’s a good start to get us all to focus on the eminent disaster “can” that we are kicking down the road, for our kids and grandkids to grapple with.
