Sasse says conversation needed on climate change solutions

Source: Energy Industry News (energyindustrynews.net)

Sara_Muhs I wonder how much beach front property this politician owns.

Climate change the way the left is pushing isn't real.

this credulous coverage of Ben Sasse's bullshit climate denial should embarrass its author and its editor

Go tell China! To try to reduce the smog just a smidgen!

Impeaching Trump would help.

He did not.. Don’t let the mushroom sucker fool you!

First impeach the current intentionally ignorant POTUS.

How do these people become leaders when they lack any courage?

The changes need to be addressed quickly and by innovative, free thinking, brains in our society. They need to get to work now and they need a strong, outspoken leader!

Try asking the scientists, the experts!!!

FUNNY SO FAR THESE REPUBLICANS LET TRUMP DEMOLISH THE EPA & NOW THEY HAVE IDEAS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE THAT TRUMP DOESN'T BELIEVE IN?

BenSasse going out on a limb and suggesting we start thinking about it. Whoa, Profile in Courage!

Good starting point...

Don't hold your breath They won't do anything!!!!

Ignore this man. I live in NE. All talk and no action. He is all about increasing his name recognition so he can run for President. The media keeps buying his act. NE does not

We are on the doorstep of another Ice Age, and these money and power grabbers are still talking about warming. Hold onto your wallets! When a politician says ‘Climate Change’, what he really means is MORE TAXES!

You mean like preaching that an invasion is coming and you send troops to the border only to have them sit on their butts because migrants legally apply for asylum

But realDonaldTrump cannot understand the problem, won’t listen and can’t lead.

BenSasse is late to the climate party & was a spineless yes vote on Kavanaugh .

Innovative synonym for corrupt?

Finally a republican thinking about his children and grandchildren to come.

Why would anyone trust federal scientists?

ChrisClaytonDTN Typical Sasse, say enough to keep press talking about him so he can sell more books and keep getting invites by progressive outlets so they can say they have Republicans on their shows. We will not hold our breath for BenSasse to actually do something other than tweet.

How about action not conversations. So far that is about all Republicans are up to!

Mayas thought that too. Hopefully we dont start sacrificing Republicans.

BenSasse maybe you can do something to get POTUS to reinstate Obama’s rule to test farm water for E. Coli?! The reversal makes us all sick and some die. Farmers save $ but we spend more in medical costs - not to mention bury those we love. dirtywater

'Not a lot are offering solutions'.... Where the F has this man been the past 20 years? Sasse, might want to do a little research before putting your foot in it. Geez!

Climate has been changing for the last million years

McConnell will tell Sasse you are a bad boy, and then Sasse will Flake out.

25-30 years too late on this idea Mr. Sasse.

SenSasse, maybe instead of talking about climate change, you can do your job and draft and vote on legislative solutions to stop it.

“When should I start to worry?” manbearpig

You know what’s gonna fail long before the environment SocialSecurity Medicare unfunded pensions get on it Congress

“Conversation needed” The time for “Conversation” is over, it’s time for action. Stop talking about it GOP and take serious actions through Climate friendly legislation. Because if you don’t, you’re hurting all those naive people in the Midwest that vote you in.

This guy needs to shut up. At least the other Republicans stick to their lie. This guy is a fraud. “Conversations “ have been held over and over again. The problem is not listening and more importantly his “tribe” denying science.

Until the fraudulent data recording is resolved at NASA and NOAA no discussions on climate change solutions will have a valid basis for brainstorming solutions. Why? The problem has not been adequately defined. 97% of climate scientists assert climate change is 100% wrong.

All talk, but no meaningful action. He always votes the party line.

GopRussians 'Begin'?

Eff that guy. He's nothing but meaningless words rolled into a mannequin.

Conversation needed on Fed Relief Fund. & cuts in firefighting funding. How can we SAVE THE WORLD, if we can't even SAVE OUR HOMES?

You mean like Romaine lettuce alarmism?

Wonder if BenSasse will ever vote in accord with his heroic pronouncements?

sensasse Disappointing. We need real leadership and a sense of urgency NOW on this issue.

Well youre going to have fun with that since most Republicans reject the concept of climate change.

What a hack.

He also sold Runzas at a football game last week. At one of these to tasks, he was effective. At the other, he’s useless.

Cue the felating of ben Sasse, hero of the civil conversation

Well that’s what he says but he flake and a few others say a lot and then drop the “balls”

What if all of the other countries of the world matched what the USA has already done to lessen environmental impact of human activity. This idea is too easy $$$ China, Russia, Africa have increased harmful activity to the environment...but the USA needs to do more? Stupid

We were innovative before trump or atleast trying. And then came the greed party that stopped it all in the name of money.

Good luck with that! Your DJT & GOP bros have there heads up an orafice looking at the world through a glass navel. Think about it!

BenSasse is sounding more and more like a cartoon character oblivion to the carnage around him. How can anyone take him seriously? He’s a JeffFlake clone!

Soi-disant 'experts' always release 'alarming reports.' That's their job: To try to convince the public that there is a crisis, that evil corporations or rich people are responsible, and that more regulations are required to kill the economy.

Hey BenSasse — America could start by listening to scientists from the rest of the world instead of waiting for a report that came out later than every other one. The US are falling way behind in every conversation about climate except when it comes to denying change.

This is a distortion. Sasse proposes a long conversation. We can't wait for this disingenuous charlatan. He is smart enough to know better, but he lets ideology and greed override responsibility. He is a Republican liar.

Lol....nuke the sun...

BenSasse talks a great game, but ignore the words and look at his actions.

BenSasse is good at “conversing”... before he falls in step w/ realDonaldTrump

INNOVATIVE? We already have them. Renewables! The only people who don't want us to move to renewables are all the greedy billionaires invested in polluting the environment with Fossil Fuel generated CO2. STOP WASTING TRILLIONS ON WAR and SPEND IT ON RENEWABLES SenSasse

We need more than a conversation

He’s all talk like JeffFlake

Another politician seeking publicity without having to pose even one solution. Your reporters need to ask tough questions of those folks.

Another 'alarming report' from the climate change carpetbagger industry that has but 1 aim: wealth redistribution. The scares/predictions/the end of days claims this decade past have shown 2b nothing but rubbish. A global ponzi scheme where RINOs like Sasse just virtue signal.

Ya think?

all Americans have to do is monitor their trash and where they put it. stop littering our oceans, companies need to be responsible for safe discharge of their by-product of manufacturing, keep the rivers free of garbage and just monitor your neighborhood. Air control is big issue

I guess we should praise a Republican for FINALLY doing this.

Ben sasse shut up and listen to the other party challenge

More windmills and miles of solar farm?,farce,scams, shams.Imagine the cost.Their are 4000+ windmills from LA to Palm Springs.

This guy is the beaky buzzard of politics.

This is not good coverage. He said absolutely nothing of value and is using more subtle denial tactics. Anyone who isn't talking about serious solutions and the extreme urgency and severity of the situation is in denial.

Nobody believes BenSasse posturing anymore. Could have made a difference, but instead sells books.

Conversations are happening BenSasse, your party simply doesn't want to listen. Don't call on your fellow lawmakers, call on your party to start ignoring lobbyists and begin serving their constituents. Don't 'both sides' this one.

Hoax

Action, not conversation.

Sasse does not have the where with all to determine the reality of something like climate change. Go back to sleep Sasse, climate change is a naturally evolving process that this planet has been experiencing since the beginning and will continue until the end.

More baloney

Gadfly.

In all due respect, Mr Sasse the real conversations have already started. Your president has chosen to remove USA from them. I appreciate your willingness to start the conversation but your party needs to do more than that. Talk....that ship has sailed!

Haha. No thanks. The Democrats will continue to follow the scientific facts and lead the way.

Lol 😝 another irrelevant GOP’s member

He best consider switching party’s if he really wants change,,,!

If you control the weather you control the people. LBJ

Nebraskan here says hahahahaha BenSasse he’s not your patriot that’s gonna save your republic. Thanks for the chuckle. He’s a party loyalist.

No time for innovative , need to prepare for the changes , pull back from the oceans and low lying areas save for coming disasters build sea defenses . Work on growing food in different climate . Report said time is up and this is unstoppable unless somehow weather changes back

We don't need discussion...this is the game plan to change nothing..talk talk talk while republicans are owned by big oil..

BenSasse must be the next leader of “The spineless caucus”! He’ll make strongly worded statements, repeat those statements on cable news and maybe even on the Senate Floor, then he’ll write a book and will still vote in support of policies that harm the environment!

Then he needs to actually do something about it. Not just talk.

Just pointless rhetoric as long as Cocaine Mitch runs the Senate

He should talk to his President.

BenSasse is Nebraska's version of JeffFlake JohnKasich is Ohio's version Ignore the man behind the curtain All smoke and mirrors

Blah blah blah. Where were you before. Just like your Kavanaugh doubts and your Khashoggi doubts this will result in nothing

nothing like 'federal' scientists telling us what theyre paid to say

Climate change believers. SMDH!!!

Conversations That was three decades ago buddy. Time for ACTION

BenSasse Ben Sasse says a lot of things.....how he votes is a whole other matter.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh- tell your moronic party to stop arguing whether or not it’s real- and start solving the problem.

Wow! A republican with brain! Talk about a unicorn!

Or, 'When Republicans are praised for saying things that Democrats have been saying for decades.'

What an innovative idea

No. BenSasse is not a leader on ClimateChange or anything else. He spews pablum that he doesn’t mean. He is my senator; look at his voting history. He consistently votes against the working class. His goal is to pull you in with his big talk, then crush you with his vote.

Sasse is just whistling in the wind to most of his fellow Republicans with this idea.

Diet Flake calls for a bit of talk.

Sorry Sasse, they’ve already been proposed you just need to follow the recommendations in order to limit climate change.

The Nebraska Republican called on his fellow lawmakers to begin thinking of innovative ways to combat climate change GOP: 'Ignore it?'

100THS3 We were heading in the right direction until the moron in chief decided that coal is the future. And, the entire gop fell in line.

If you don't take action against china, and india, then you might as well be spitting into the wind.

Be like the rest of the planet and end use of fossil fuels. Europe and now China use a mix of renewable clean sources. Sorry WV, no coal. Bye bye oil

How about not propping up the coal industry for starters

I love seeing Dems so brainwashed they don’t even know the BushGang FakeRepubs have been on their ClimateChange team all along. It’s UN Rule of Law down to the local level in the USA. How about the truth...ClimateChangers? Oops! 🔥🤡🔥

Duhh, what r u talking about? Duhhh, it’s fake news? Duhhh, it’s the deep state. Duhhh, look outside - it’s cold. Duhhh, it could be cold it could be hot - we may never know. Duhhh 🙄

Lawmakers combating climate change. sure. Why not pull out all the stops and let lawyers do it!

rape supporter.

Ben's looking for his horse to ride on and be the media darling from the GOP. Go for it sunshine...ill be waiting for the media to dig up ur Hastert past.....

The phrase 'let's have a conversation' is now a euphemism for 'I don't believe in global warming, but I will talk about it and do nothing.'

Dear .SenSasse ...most smart people began 'thinking' of innovative ways decades ago, only to be stymied by your compatriots in the HouseGOP and SenateGOP .... but feel free to join in. at least idiots like .LamarSmithTX21 are gone and fossilized.

This man will do anything to go against Trump.

BenSasse doesn't only care about climate change, he's also the only national pol discussing the urgent need for the US to prepare for the disruptive effects of AI on our economy, which the rest of DC is ignoring. Somehow, a visionary thinker got into US Senate. Whoda thunk it?🤔

Yes newgreendeal

Why not just promote Agenda2030 and the phony international law behind this all? FakeRepubs are also ClimateChangers 🔥🤡🔥

Good luck convincing Mr.T of any credible scientific research.

Where was he in the last 2 years? OMFG

U've known this 4 years Sasse! Don't even bother. Trump will have U drop out on climate change next week.

Sassy

He's Jeff Flake's protege, in training to be next GOP apologist and chief wash-out.

BenSasse is useless. He will write another book, profit from it, all the while voting for bills that do nothing to curb climate change because he is an attention seeking empty suit.

were not causing it we can’t fix it. Conversation over

Carbon tax oh brilliant one!

Monty Burns style sun shade!

Deep Seagrass Bed Could Stall Climate Change, If Climate Change Doesn't Kill It FirstScientists have identified a giant bed of deep sea grass in Australia's Great Barrier Reef that may be absorbing millions of tons of carbon. But these so-called blue carbon sinks need protecting too. Seems to me much could be gained from Carbon Capture. JonahNRO Every time we discover nature taking care of itself, quietly doing its own thing, environmentalists find an opportunity to 'protect' something by spending a bunch of taxpayer money on it. Like getting the money is maybe more important than the sea grass. Trump to the world… “The USA is going to mine coal in Australia’s bed of deep sea grass.”
