Joe was in perhaps his best form today. He said this in remarks to people in NY and NJ who lost everything, explaining to them that what they need to focus on is climate change. Now, as we've been told, weather is not climate, and when right-wingers remark after a harsh winter that this is evidence that global warming is not occurring, we are all told that they are confusing weather with climate. However, when floods or hurricanes occur and a global warming bill is in the hopper in Congress, weather is indeed indicative of human-generated climate change. Got all that?

He sputtered numerous times about his "Build Back Better" proposal and informed the now homeless residents and the dead that things will not get better for them unless his bill is passed. He emphasized several times that this was the truth, which is what people who are telling the truth always say. It's good to preface the truth with clear declarations that what is about to be said is, in fact, the truth.

"When I think climate change, I think jobs." "Building back" will create great jobs, paying upwards of $45-50 per hour, according to Joe. He didn't provide many specifics about what kinds of jobs he's thinking about when he said this, but it's safe to assume that these will be jobs for which our unemployed will be especially suited, in terms of education and training. It's great when a plan all comes together.

He did also admonish us to "Listen to the science," which has become another strong indicator of when someone knows what he or she is talking about. He's read the science. You haven't. Listen to him and listen to the 99% of climatologists who were surveyed back in 1999 about this whole issue.
