The resolution declares a sense of Congress that “climate change is real; human activity during the last century is the dominant cause of the climate crisis; and the United States and Congress should take immediate action to address the challenge of climate change.” But it’s not nearly as detailed as the 14-page resolution put out by Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass.
I don’t know enough about the legislative gamesmanship going on here to know if Carper is trying to help or hurt the cause of getting real action on climate change. But I do know that Democrats acting scared isn’t a winning strategy.
If, instead of always looking for an excuse to cower in he corner in a puddle of their own piss, all Dems in congress turned off the cable news in their offices, and shoved the Green New Deal down Mitch McConnell’s throat, it would dramatically change the dynamic.
