    Climate Change is a national and global threat. It requires a dramatic and immediate response.

    When a Democrat assures me of my destruction due to global warming, let them recall they threatened me to die due to nuclear bombs t oo. I am still here.

    So people on a news and politics forum doesn't have a clue about solar flares/ EMPs, asteroids, the super volcano in Yellowstone and the like but care about climate change that's natural?

    Setting aside that those threats are actively being evaluated and protections against them are being integrated into society, those are examples of natural catastrophes that are incredibly difficult to predict. Climate change is the result of man made alterations and it is rather easy to predict.

    Then the title of this thread is bogus.

    Trump can't sign/veto a bill that doesn't get to his desk.

    Pssssssst! The same thing happened when the Republicans were in control of the House from 2011 to 2014 and the Democrats controlled the Senate and Presidency during that time.

    Mr. Legal I read it only would cost our nation a little over a billion dollars to protect us from a huge solar flare in our electrical grid..


    I dont get why we haven't done it

    You know, I am amused by Democrats claims humans are in charge of climate. Really?

    Some people evidently believe Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic caucus that voters elected into the majority in 2018, ought to pass bills that Kevin McCarthy, and Steve Scalise et al ran and lost their majority on, in lieu of passing the agenda that Pelosi, Hoyer and Clyburn and their allies won the new majority on instead.

    That is not how this goes. You lose a majority, you lose the speakership, the committee chairs, and the right to pick the House legislative agenda. You may not like the content of these bills, but they got passed because more voters seemed to like these ideas, than liked the republican alternatives. Or maybe they just did not like Donald Trump and don't trust republicans to be an effective check of his abuses of power in Congress.
