At a certain point, states should be required to acknowledge climate change to receive federal

percentage that voted for Beto O'Rourke.

And it's Republicans who do mass punishment .

I do think we need to bring up the issue. I remember some years back some people started attacking us for even bringing up the hypocrisy . I think most of these were right wing trolls .

If we could make the state actually DO SOMETHING about reducing emissions thru these means ... then we'd be talking.

And albeit through a reasonable timeline. Not "Do this right now, or we're going to let everybody die."

So it would be a program to support certain measures and states that implement it will get funding from that program.

and for voters to respond to the issue. At a certain point, it doesn't make sense to keep letting them create the conditions that cause the problems while siphoning more and more federal money then complain about the debt as a political weapon. I think there's a way to push them in the direction, even if not completely, while not even entirely holding out on the aid, but getting them to be put on some kind of improvement plan to continue receiving it 10 years down the road.

Not all that fair.
