AND Jamie Raskin knows all about what he is saying , Clown
Wazzup 😢
I am saddened by the news
And I guess cancer and liars working on the same time frame
What a waste of OUR MONEY, all talk , and no results
We love and appreciate Senator "Common Sense " Kennedy! Maybe instead of D.E.I., maybe we can add common sense classes for grades k-12 and 2 years of training or college. 🇺🇸👍🏻
I don't see any of them going after the airlines or big shipping companies there going after the people to oppress them 😮
FJR !
This guy is a straight lie…carbon neutral? Its a disgrace…
1St. There is no such thing as "fossil fuels".
2Nd. Carbon is essential to human and animal life!
Plants absorb, or breathe in carbon AND BREATHE OUT
OXYGEN! Any gradeschool kid used to learn this. I don't know
what they learn anymore. Most likely lots of nonsense
in the public schools all across this country. Oh, I know they know
not God or learn civics! What a shame!
At a certain point it all becomes comedy it’s astounding to think that these are our elected leaders dear god let us do better as a nation!
Their isn't a Climatologist, advocate, celebrity or politican backing the Climate movement that has ever made a remotely accurate prediction, not this year not in the last 3 decades, not in the last 10 decades. Why? Because its all BS
They have us fearing the Sun and the gas of life – we have truly entered a new era of human idoicy…..
Rascal Raskin
You mean Raskin did not know how many people are in the world before this hearing?… Raskin appears like a fraud to me. His response belies whatever intelligence he claims he has.
Kennedy is brilliant.
They cant stop WARS ; but they want to save the Planet 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
There are no plan. He can tell us the goal. Well how do we get there? He should have several plans prepared in order to adopt to reality.
Never heard of agricultural while working with CO2. Silly answer with firedepartment but that says a lot. So easy to just say that the reduced CO2 goal is based on human-produced. What happens in nature happens.
If I present this kind of knowlage to my manager I would be fired 10 min later.
United Nations is a joke organization.
Raskin is out of his league.
In my opinion, the trees, the grass, the vegetables all need carbon dioxide. They all use it and they give off oxygen. What the hell is wrong with you people
Raskin has never had a hard day in his life. He can do whatever he wants to to the rest of us and it would never affect his highly spoiled life. He will never understand how the average human lives, and doesn’t care.
That is the most productive and respectful discussion ive ever heard happen between a democrat and a republican. It was thoughtful on bith sides and both sides refuted statements from the other but did it in a respectful manner. Why cant they talk to each other like this more often? The whole 5 minute thing is stupid and is a big oart in why things never get solved because you make these guys try and argue their point in minutes when it takes a long form discussion to come to an honest and agreeable conscensus. It is sad that they cut this off and didnt let this conversation evolve because it couldve led to some common ground being found between those who believe that the world will end if the united states doesnt spend all of our money and those who feel that the idea of that is really comical. My point is not whether one is right or wrong but that the way they handled this discussion should be a new model for the way these guys communicate with each other.
Well just stop the chem trails!
The Congressman is a person who I would question his 'facts' if he claimed water was wet, based on his long history of lying.
Like most of THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, he expects America to become a third world country to allow China and othe countries to prosper.
You KNOW you are being CONNED when every effect of global warming mentioned is bad. If the globe is indeed warming from human activity, then there will be bad effects from the warming but also some good effects (more co2, more greenery, more plants, less deaths from freezing to death, etc. The fact that you NEVER hear any of the good effects tells you that this is agenda-driven and not fact-based…
These green hippies are going to make USA dependant of unstable power supply
Let me just ask. What do we eat
This guy he is a real jerk. Go senator your right its all about money. No money.
Rankin never had cancer or chemo. That’s crap.
Wow! Sen. Kennedy!
Just like we have Activists Politician, we also have Activists Scientist with made up numbers.
It's wonderful to see younger politicians such as AOC and Jasmine Crockett taking a stand for global democracy. Unlike older politicians who may lack the energy to hold individuals like Trump accountable, these new voices bring vitality to the cause. Thank you, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett; your actions are appreciated by Australia.
Kennedy is an old man without a vision for the next generations, and younger politicians such as AOC and Jasmine Crockett taking a stand for global democracy and Climate Change.
R askin is a fool

Dear Rep. Jamie Raskin,
You produced a plethora of video clips about the Democrat "War on Fossil Fuel" and the "innocence of Crooked Pres. Joe Biden" that just shows that you don't care about the evidence, you just want to prevail, even if you are wrong!
"My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you
talking about, China. I have not had—The only guy who made money from
China is this guy [Donald Trump]. He’s the only one. Nobody else has
made money from China."
The bank records refute President Biden’s statement. To date, President Biden has
to deny that his family received money from China—despite bank records proving otherwise.
In 2017 alone, bank records show President Biden’s family and their related companies received millions of dollars from Chinese foreign nationals’ companies. This amount does not include payments from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Romania, Oman, or other foreign business deals the Committee is investigating; it also does not include any payments related to Hunter Biden’s interest in BHR Partners or Jonathan Li.

God make climate
RATSKIN IS CRAZY
He lost all credibility with me when he thought there was only 4.5 billion people in the world.
Many say the ultimate solution to climate change is population control, to reduce the number of humans. Let us not beat around the bush.
There's no damn climate change. You know what they want the money for for climate change? Defund police, defund military make shoplifting not a crime I saw the grants. Millions of dollars communist
Simple point that should be considered, is that these same people who believe mankind will destroy the world, are the very same people who believe in evolution😮. You can’t believe in both, when mankind seems to be spiraling down to our own destruction, counter to “Life will make a Way” by evolutionist.
Gods in control of weather not Congress they just want EXCUSES to spend of OUR TAX DOLLARS that wont stop forest fires. Why was this so hard to comprehend?😅😂
Lol, as a German I salute Mr. Kennedy. 😂😂😂
Unfortunately, that doesn’t change who you are as a person and why you want to take down America everybody suffers from cancer. Everybody has a loved one that suffers from cancer doesn’t change the fact that you hate America.
12aaa
How can you be THAT FAR OFF on the world's population statistic? 🌎😅
I heard him say he is going to try to pass a law to prevent Trump from becoming presedent.
Core Ice samples taken from the artic show there is no change in the climate over the last 80 years. These climate change/ global warming worshipers need to be put in a mental instution and forced to listen to MTGreens lectures 24 hours per day with ocasional cameo visits from Trump.
Rankin “climate change” has NOTHING to do with intensity hurricanes and tornadoes!! FFS 🤦🏻
