yup, it could happen. and PumpkinHead is making it easier.

he's setting a bad precedent.

or at least trying to.

he may fail.

but if he doesn't, the next dem president may declare Climate Change a National Emergency.

or, the national debt.

or the nra.

we just never know what lies behind a door, until we open it...

Can people be forced from their land in a national emergency or will the government still by it at a discount price?

Yes Cole since it is an emergency other annexation laws may apply!

Yes and let's think about landowners in TX... most likely Twitler supporters!

This is just getting good!

What if they don't want to sell? Send in the tanks?

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

Well, yes, , , , we could do a lot more to reduce our "carbon footprint" BUT (and we've been through this point before, , , ,). Even if the U.S. went to ZERO carbon emissions, the rest of the world would still be on a global warming ramp. We would still be heading to Hell-In-A-Handbasket with the rest of the world but, at least we would have the prettiest basket.

So let's get real about this, , , , a declared National Emergency in regard to Global Warming would be for the intent of what? Declaring war on polluting countries? Should we, will we, cease all trade with offending countries? Invade India and make them clean things up?

Too little, too late.

We could, probably should, go with the New Green Deal thingy. But, we would also have to tell up to a third of the world's population that it is "excess" and otherwise will soon become "useless consumers of food".

Is harm reduction better than indifference?

Who gets to decide who's "useless"?

Asking for a friend.
