Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has crafted the image of his far-fetched presidential bid as a Hail Mary to save the globe from climate change. Feet held to the fire, however, his answers, like those of most of his Democratic debate compatriots, seem to deal very little with the actual sources increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
When asked by MSNBC pundit whether Inslee’s climate plan saves Miami, he noted that he’s vitally “getting rid of the filibuster.” Sorry, but even the U.S. Senate doesn’t produce enough hot air to melt the polar ice caps. Inslee also noted that wind turbines can “cause jobs,” not cancer, as President Trump once said. Wind power also contributes 6.6% of the nation’s carbon neutral energy generation. It’s still beside the point.
