Liberals dont have any ideas or solutions either. Except more government and more taxes. And then when it revealed that the whole thing was overstated and overhyped they swoop in and take credit for anything that works.

I'll bet when China manages some sort of green technology boom and adds loads of value to their economy while the US continues to sink all available investment capital into unicorn start-ups, and wrings her hands over saving a fraction of ever less valuable coal jobs, that will be the dumb ol' stupid libtards fault too.
Unicorn start up? China coming off with sone sort of green tech boom sounds like the fucking unicorn to me. If China were to have some green tech boom it will be the same as all their other tech booms, stolen from us.

All their growth has just about ruin the drinking water, and have you see pictures of their air? They are going green not just to make money, but also to stop from dying from the all growth, at all costs mentality. Some of the stats are a bit horrifying. The Greens did not start out of saving the butterfly, or some nonsense, they started because of the burning rivers and brown skies we use to have.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Yeah, what horrible smog choked lives we had before we started funneling money into welfare for the rich.

Yes, there was a lot more pollution back in the day. I don't know where you lived 30 years ago, but my lungs and eyes remember there was some serious smog in California, google up the stats, and pictures of 1970s and before. Yeech.

Noticed that the water was once brown.

Maybe I just didn't hear about it, growing up in the Georgia backwoods. I've not yet topped 30.
