Not sure there's a need for this bill since we are already discussing the future of fossil fuels in the red green new deal thread.

This isn't a meme bill, climate change has to be addressed, and this was written before the Red Green New Deal bill (which is probably a better way to deal with this). I'm perfectly fine with this being tabled, however referring to dealing with climate change as a "meme" is incredibly concerning to me, I'm glad that the House is taking ambitious action, because this is a crisis, and we need to deal with it now.

You literally can't address the points or rebut any arguments, so I'll just assume that you don't think climate change is a threat and we should continue to let oil companies destroy our environment.

I suggest you look at my history on the issue, then come back when you have an accusation that actually sticks.

In the meantime, sit down, kid.

History means nothing, you don't stand by those values anymore. You may have at one point, but you've changed, and bringing up old positions doesn't change that.

You are making assumptions based off of ideas you cannot back.

You wrote a bad bill, I rightfully called it out for being bad. Get over it.

[Sestak]

Oh come on. You can't not pass a bill named POFF!

[Leinad]

Aye

In the meantime, sit down, kid.

Why are you so g-dang condescending?
