As vice president, Kamala Harris helped pass the largest government investment into climate and clean energy initiatives, and grants to states to help recover from extreme weather events.
Q: Do you believe that climate change is largely driven by human activity, including the burning of fossil fuels? If not, is there a different cause you would cite?
A: Harris calls climate change an existential threat and says the United States needs to act urgently to address it. As a presidential candidate in 2019, she released a $10 trillion climate plan that calls for investing in renewable energy, holding polluters accountable, helping communities affected by climate change and protecting natural resources.
As California attorney general, she prosecuted oil companies for environmental violations. As vice president, she was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for the Inflation Reduction Act, which provided about $370 billion to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below their 2005 levels by the end of this decade.
It is Trump who is the liar. Kamala Harris can back up all actions she has made in the best interest of the middle-class. This person has dedicated her life to represent the people in several capacities that brought her in direct contact with working class people and their existential problems.
And I suggest you take your own advice and look a this problem realistically .
Yes, the people that pay most of the taxes that run this country.
It used to be that the working-class was the middle class, but whereas the rich have increased their incomes by 300-400 %, the working middle class have lost ground on their income . This is why Harris promised to give tax credits to the middle class, small businesses, and help with downpayments on affordable housing to the tune of 3 million units,
Kamala Harris’ plan to add 3 million housing units is an ‘ambitious’ 50% jump, experts say
After comparing this with Trump’s threats to kill, intern, or evacuate half the US population, isn’t it about time you started looking at Kamala Harris in a little more favorable light?
The Economy: What 2024 voters want and which candidate they trust
Harris’ specific economic policies included in our poll are more popular, on average, than Trump’s. Each of her eight plans included in the poll are supported by a majority of registered voters, including five that each get at least 60% support: Harris’ plans to raise taxes on billionaires, to provide a new tax credit for families with newborns, to increase the minimum wage, to strengthen unions, and to cap grocery prices.

And Trump is proposing any relief on home purchases? What is the matter with you.
Trump is a convicted criminal who should be in prison and be excluded from running altogether. He cannot vote, own a gun, and owes hundreds of millions of dollars in fines, lawsuits, and tax evasion. He couldn’t get a job as dog catcher,.
And you preferTrump, this old TV personality/conman over Harris, a squeaky clean civil servant. Are you insane?
To think that Blackrock could own 60% of the single-family housing in the United States by 2030 should sincerely frighten you — especially since they already own 88% of the S&P 500.
This sort of institutional tyranny is even more prevalent in commercial real estate. The 99% of the population are losing control of their communities.
What does the “IceCube” experiment or neutrino and cloud chambers have to do with atmospheric clouds?
Mike Yohe, Once again you are fantasizing malicious nonsense, intent on clouding and hiding all that we do know with a healthy degree of certainty.
But you’ll never make the effort to legitimately learn about our Global Heat and Moisture Distribution engine, it’s all about crazy making and stopping those dang taxes.
Of course, Trump will promote “drill baby drill”. Biden stopped the drilling. Which did nothing but raise the cost of fossil fuel. More people start burning wood. We ended up with more CO2 because of higher fuel prices. To keep CO2 down we need to keep the price of fuel low and steady until we have the infrastructure of a pathway of clean energy ready.
Politico - Former President Donald Trump has praised electric vehicles.
Former President Trump has softened his tone on electric vehicles following his backing from Tesla’s Elon Musk.
Kamala didn’t help California at all. Ca has major oil reservoirs, and we must import 75% of our oil from overseas, just like a third world nation. The Chevron doctrine had opened the door for government regulators to control all the resources, while still putting the blame of poor management on the private companies. Who do the regulators work for? The American people or political interest? The political funding is still increasing even though the Supreme Court’s decision 6-3 overturning the Chevron doctrine and it is the Rule of Law now. The Administration and Departments are fighting not to relinquish their power to implement their own laws. Laws are of no value if the administration ignores them.
The California refining process is so political that another refinery is closing next year. Kamala is moving the California operating methods to DC. I still pay close to $5/gal. when AAA has the national average at $3.14.
What is not talked about is why America’s department and political personal ends up owning and involved in Ukraine’s oil fields and unproven shale reservoirs that are mostly located in Donbass areas where the war over the land has taken place. Are we going to see Democrat political strategists owning more Ukraine oil reservoirs after this election too? Even the Climate Czar Kerry was buying into Ukraine oil companies. Putting his relatives on fossil fuel boards along with U.S. department heads and political personnel. Yes, I agree that Kamala has no plans on ending oil. The plan is to use oil to fund the swamp.
Climate policies show that nine out of the top ten states with the most expensive average costs of gas per gallon are all Democrat-led. And nine out of the top ten states with the lowest average costs of gas per gallon are all Republican-led.
When energy prices rise, people turn to wood-burning stoves as an alternative to central heating. For example, in the UK, wood-burning stove sales increased by 60% in one year. Deforestation for cooking in developing countries increases with higher fuel costs.
Kamala killed the Keystone XL pipeline and that helped raise the cost of fuel.
AI Overview - Yes, when fossil fuel prices rise, there is a potential for increased CO2 emissions due to more wood burning as people may switch to cheaper wood as a heating source, which can contribute to higher overall carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
Very interesting.
Interesting. And I don’t like the idea of any one company owning so much. Houses should be owned by the people. In 2023 the US had $2.3T dollars in the US. Blackrock controls over $11T in assets.
AI - BlackRock is the world’s largest asset management company, with $11.5 trillion in assets under management as of December 31, 2023. This makes BlackRock’s assets larger than the GDPs of all but the United States and China.
That is an incorrect statement. Wood burning does not contribute to CO2, it circulates it. It is the burning of “sequestered” fossil fuel that contributes to CO2.
Trees are CO2 scrubbers and take CO2 from the air. When you burn it, it just replaces what was used by the trees.
This is why “hemp” is “green” crop. A carbon sink (fixer)
Over time, 1 acre of hemp will scrub as much CO2 from the air as 20 acres of trees.
The Role of Industrial Hemp in Carbon Farming
Industrial hemp has been scientifically proven to absorb more CO2 per hectare than any forest or commercial crop and is therefore the ideal carbon sink.
In addition, the CO2 is permanently bonded within the fiber that is used for anything from textiles, to paper and as a building material. https://www.aph.gov.au/documentstore.ashx?id=ae6e9b56-1d34-4ed3-9851-2b3bf0b6eb4f#:
