plutherusPage: What about climate change? We’ve had record hurricanes, both stronger and slower, and record wildfires. Do you believe this has to do with climate change as scientists say? (Hah! Not exactly a totally unbiased way to put it there. Good for her for pointing it out, though.)
Pence: We are very proud of our record. Water and air is cleaner than ever. They want the Green new deal! (He’s really reiterating that. I don’t think he realizes that most Americans don’t consider it the scare word that he considers it. He should say socialism instead. A lot of people are still afraid of that word.)
At least Pence admits that climate change exists, but of course he denies there’s a cause. Claims we have cleaner water and air than ever because of “The free market economy”. The American People can look at the record. Fossil fuel is innovation. Green New Deal is communism.
Time’s up, but he won’t stop talking, but says GREEN NEW DEAL and THE AMERICAN PEOPLE twice more each.
Mod: Biden says he doesn’t support GREEN NEW DEAL. Your web site says he does. What is your actual stance?
Harris:
- Says they won’t ban fracking. (He should!)
- Reiterates that the economic plan does not raise taxes on anyone under 400,000.
- Some of the 7 million new jobs it’ll create will be in clean energy.
- “We need facts – they took the words “science” and “climate change” off the web site as soon as they took office.” Trump says science doesn’t know about wild fires . (He also said rake the forest! She doesn’t mention that, though.)
- Will be carbon neutral by 2050. That’s not the same thing as eliminating fossil fuels.
Page: Harris says climate change is existential threat. Do you believe this?
Pence: Senator Harris is denying the fact that Biden will raise taxes on THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Also, you sponsored the GREEN NEW DEAL. She’s going to submit the people to the Paris Climate Accord! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE don’t believe that. The $2 trillion GREEN NEW DEAL will cripple America. Trump loves America.
