WaPo: Electoral College makes it harder to fight global warming
December 20, 2016 | BPR Wire | Print Article   


The Washington Post blamed the Electoral College for making so-called man-made global warming nearly impossible to “thwart.”

The last two U.S. presidents who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College have actively worked against efforts to end global warming, Todd Cort, the co-director of the Yale Center for Business and the Environment, wrote Monday in an editorial for The Washington Post.


“At the very least, the impact of the 2000 electoral college vote was a delay of four years in addressing climate change (and it is arguable that even though Bush won his second term with the popular vote, that scenario would have been far less likely were he not the incumbent thanks to the 2000 vote),” Cort wrote.

I'm surprised they didn't add that "the electoral college also creates gun violence."

Democracy makes it difficult to do anything that the public doesn't want done.  Is the Washington Compost advocating for a dictatorship?

Just keep throwin' sh*t at the wall. Something will stick eventually.

The electoral college and the Russians: responsible for all ills in the world.


White males too.

Feminazis have been taking some heat recently, too.  But only white ones, naturally.

Democracy makes it difficult to do anything that the public doesn't want done.

People don't want their handouts cut, either. See: Social Security.

That being said, there has to be proof that something realistic CAN be done about it before we start making these claims. The fact is, there never was such a realistic plan. The action necessary to alter the climate in the way the alarmists want would require billions of people to die, even moreso if those who survive were to be able to maintain a Western-level standard of living.

Dang, did they vote on this, too?

I missed that!

We need to quit worrying about the seas rising.  America is already drowning in stupidity.
