Rule by Democrats isn’t cheap. Green New Deal lunacy will cost New Yorkers hundreds of $billions:

New Yorkers will have to pay “hundreds of billions of dollars” in higher utility bills due to the state’s “Green New Deal”-inspired plan, according to a top energy regulatory official — who accused lawmakers of hiding the true cost of the bill.

John Howard, former chairman and current member of the state Public Service Commission, claimed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Democratic-run legislature never leveled with the public on the costs associated with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act approved in 2019.

Why would they level with voters? Nothing having to do with the global warming hoax is on the level.

Since it was politically inconvenient to raise taxes enough to pay for this, it will be financed through utility rate increases. That will have the benefit of allowing Democrats to demonize the power company.

The law, which Cuomo signed in a ceremony with Al Gore at his side, requires New York to slash greenhouse emissions by 40% by 2030 and no less than 85% by 2050 by transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, such as hydropower, solar and wind. The state Climate Action Council, meanwhile, is charged with developing a plan to put the state on a path toward zero carbon emissions.

Zero carbon emissions would literally mean zero human activity.

For an idea of what it would mean for America as a whole to let Democrats consolidate power nationally the way they have in New York, refer to the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Left unchecked, their ambitions will utterly destroy the economy, leading to the death by starvation of a large percentage of the population. Already Biden et al. have turned what should have been a post-Covid boom into a lurch toward recession.

There is zero chance that Democrats’ extravagantly expensive climate posturing will have a perceptible effect on global temperature.

Videos featuring the demented figurehead for the ultraleft hit peek cringe when Creepy Joe joined up with the tyrannical dork Bill Nye to push the blessedly failed Built Back Better looting spree. But a collaboration with the Jonas Brothers apparently intended to promote Covid vaccines was nearly as irritating:

In the video, the brothers mouth the words to the “Joe Byron” viral video from various spots in the White House and at the end they ask President Biden “Did we get it?”

The camera then moves to the president who pretends to be filming the whole thing on his cell phone.

“We got it,” Biden says with a smile.

Thankfully, it’s short:

Annoying as that was, it served to inspire this summary of Biden’s presidency:

Good thing there are no pictures of the fate of Americans Biden left behind in Afghanistan. That would be too gruesome for laughs.

Desperately as authoritarians cling to Covid, the mild and highly transmissible Omicron variant is likely to put an end to the pandemic as anything that can be hyped into an exploitable crisis. Our ruling class already has the next emergency lined up; they will place renewed emphasis on the global warming hoax.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) isn’t the only one who thinks dissidents should be imprisoned for contradicting the current Democrat Party line on climate change. Mark Dice has no problem finding average morons on the street who agree with this policy:

Ironically, it is actually the moonbats who deny climate change, by pretending that the climate does not always change, no matter how much taxation and regulation are imposed by Democrats.

Maybe Bill Nye the Pseudoscience Guy will assume the role of Tony Fauci in the coming climate crackdown. As Karl Marx should have said, history repeats itself, first as farce, second as even more absurd farce.

Watch Nye argue in favor of imprisoning those who dispute the global warming hoax:

As an added bonus for liberal readers who might find Nye appealing, here he is pushing the budget-busting Build Back Better blowout in the name of climate ideology:

Being ruled by people who think that was “awesome” is not an option.

Bill Nye isn’t actually a scientist, but he is dorky enough to comply with a moronic stereotype of scientists and cannot be outflanked on the left, so he served the liberal establishment well as a mouthpiece for scientific wisdom. However, in today’s political climate his pale skin has become problematic, so he has been replaced by the comparably moonbatty and more pigmentally correct Neil deGrasse Tyson. Here Tyson dumps a bucket of bah-humbug on our Christmas cheer by declaring that Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer has been misgendered:

No word from Tyson on whether reindeer can really fly and whether their noses might light up red.
