Jay Inslee has called it quits. Who's next? Woo Woo Williamson?
Maybe the woman from CA who has to take a poll and consult with her donors to decide what she believes today. Maybe the old senile guy (oh wait he's the front runner). And then we have a billionaire who made his money on fossil fuels running on climate change because a Dem governor doing so was just never going to work but a billionaire with dirty money is so much better, and a guy handing out $1000 bills. Still though Trump is #1 in suckage if only because there would be a non-zero chance of something decent out of the rest, ha not even high, but non-zero.
Inslee I like. Oh well, too serious or something and people don't want to vote on climate change, oh heck people probably don't want to think about climate change. I'll be gone, you'll be gone, maybe we'll be gone due to climate change, but hey gone is gone.

I did not like that Inslee wanted to mandate everyone use electric cars. Electricity in my area is very expensive and a significant portion of it is generated with fossil fuels. I think hybrids are a better idea because you can charge the batteries at the time of manufacture with green fuel, but he was a one size fits all guy.
Maybe Bullock is next. Hickenlooper and Inslee were both governors. They seem to be more realistic about their chances.
Hickenlooper just announced his run for the senate. He will run against Cory Gardner (R), who is not in T's inner circle, but pretty much a tow the line Republican. He's quite popular here and probably has a very good chance of unseating Gardner. A better fit for him that POTUS. Andrew Yang seems to get some press about an increasing popularity Other than his guaranteed income for all, he didn't seem to have much to say during the debates. Like Inslee, I wonder if he is making a point rather than having high hopes. He may hold out a while longer, but I expect Bennett to be one of the next shoes to drop out.
I was a fed and upheld regulations. Those for the environment were there for a reason, as well as, those for workers and many others that trump has deregulated. Obviously, you don't believe in climate change. What I don't understand is... even if you don't believe ... why not err on the side of caution?
Obviously, you're wrong. I believe the climate has been in a continual state of flux since the formation of earth's atmosphere and will continue to be so forever more as the dominant causes are well outside the control of mere mortals. I also believe in Global Warming, which I believe to be one of the states of flux within climate change and may be subject to conditions necessary for the further evolution or devolution of humans. Maybe you and I could discuss both subjects rationally one day, without accusations or political blame. Are you interested?

Well that would be a silly claim for her to make. She may not know that Alan not only understands the effect greenhouse gasses have on the atmosphere, he's actually glad to see they're there since their absence would leave the entire earth in a perpetual state of deep freeze, and he hates being cold.

Ok, I'll revise since I like to have things accurate. Alan believes and approves of the fossil fuel industry's bizarre ad campaign a few years ago. "Carbon dioxide. The breath of life." He's probably also super stoked that farmers in brazil are burning down the amazon at an, ahem, breathtaking rate, since it will mean more carbon dioxide to keep his part of the world warm.*
*If things don't work out for you and we actually elect people who implement policies to slow human caused climate change I will send you one of the two wool sweaters I bought in Dublin 18 years ago. They are awesome. I get compliments every time I wear them. And I wouldn't want you to be chilly.
