Republicans in congress have been obstructing President Obama for the past 7 years. One of them once even tossed him a snowball, claiming it was evidence against global warming. Does any Republican in congress believe that climate change is real?
But here’s what they do have time for: H. Res. 642, was introduced 3/14/16 by Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX). This resolution is titled:
Recognizing magic as a rare and valuable art form and national treasure.
Wait a minute. What??? Magic?
This is not a joke. You can read the full text of the resolution here.
This resolution actually has co-sponsors, 7 republican, 2 democrat. And the very day it was introduced, it was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Humans have created a global climate emergency, and our Republican led congress is introducing resolutions about magic. The March monthly average CO2 content of our atmosphere was 404.83 ppm, according to Mauna Loa Observatory. A level of 350 ppm was deemed (350.org) the level of CO2 not to be exceeded in order to maintain a climate hospitable to human life.
At some point, even the climate deniers in congress will have to admit that we are in climate emergency of our own creation, and waving a magic wand won’t fix it. Please do whatever you can to overturn Republican held seats in congress this election cycle.
