  1. After 8 million views Michael Moore’s new movie “Planet of the humans” is free on YouTube for another 30 days

    1. Who cares? It’s garbage like everything else he makes. Only idiots believe in man made Global Warming.

    2. @GF S. And those morons are known as Democrats. WuFlu and the religion of climate change is BS.

  2. Trump will never create the millions of jobs in clean energy that he could, because his malice towards his more successful predecessor is greater than any other desire he might have.

    1. @Michigan Wolverine
      Wow you racists get really triggered over big black man Obama. I think its halarious. Keep whining and crying snowflake. BTW you like your own comments. 🤣

    2. @Michigan Wolverine
      CORRECT 👍👍👍👍
      However, Trump-hating
      MSNBC groupies don’t want to hear the truth 😁😁😁

      You wouldn’t know the truth if it hit you in the face and knocked you over. How’s Qanon? I hear they’ll be giving out free Bleach when your hate rallies open up again. Drink all you can it’s going to be free.

  3. I often hear the argument “I don’t want to change my lifestyle”, when people argue against green policies. I think the pandemic is showing that “in the future, just about anything is possible”, and sometimes, the effects are out of our control. If we think that a 4 month or one year lockdown is tough (while we all wait for a vaccine), then you are going to just hate it when half of Florida goes under water. Yes, the ice caps are melting.
    At the very least, the pandemic has shown to us what can be achieved if everyone pulls together, on a global basis. And in that respect, the fight against the covid-19 virus and climate change are similar in that both needs to be done globally. A greener policy in one country is nullified if some other country can attract businesses with less strict environmental protection policies in place. No one country can “elect” to be absent from any accords.
    I am not an alarmist. I am a realist. We have not seen the full effects of climate change. And when it happens, it is near irreversible. And I hope nobody will say “no one could have predicted …”
    Changing our lifestyle. It is no longer a choice.

    1. @Rix Amoris but then when we open up fully, we’ll need even more oil. You wanna live in some unicorn land, then move

    2. @Ro G fossil fuel lobbyists don’t fund democrats? You need to get out more…. you sound like a cultist fake news dummy.

  4. Imagine that trying to explain climate change to t’rump supporters is much like trying to explain geography to a flat earther.

    1. Don’t forget these geniuses started Qanon. A deranged and delusional delight for the mentally ill.

  5. They have no proof of any effect. This is horzeshit global warming alarmist propaganda. Talk to China…the worlds largest producer.

  6. LMAO! …. Just like Hillary was supposed to win the 2016 election! … And just like the IRS finally going to get Trump for only claiming his daddy gave him 1million when he really gave him 10 million…lol …. Does Anybody really believe this so called News anymore? …. story after story is just BS from these ”News Anchors”

  7. Hemp is a great place to start in saving our Planet.
    Hemp can help our dependency on fossil fuels
    One acre of Hemp can replace 10 acres of trees and only takes 6 months vs 30 years
    Hemp is used around Chernobyl to remove radiation from the soil
    Hemp can make biodegradable plastics
    Hemp loves CO2
    Hemp is a great food source

  8. It’s impossible to fathom the degree of ignorance inherent in the Viewers of this Network and it’s vile menagerie of cretins
