The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners adopted a plan Tuesday to fight climate change.
The Climate Action Plan outlines how the county can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the most vulnerable from climate change, according to a Hennepin County news release. About 2,300 residents, 80 public entity partners, 57 staff and “many” community organizations were part of the planning.
“It is a promise to residents that we are committed to aligning our policies, budget and capital investments with the ambitious goals and innovative strategies outlined in this plan,” Commissioner Chris LaTondresse said in the release. “We need an urgent paradigm shift in how we address climate change in order to create a better future for all.”
Hennepin County also recently committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and created a new director position who will be responsible for the operation of the new plan.
The plan’s goals include transitioning to renewable energy sources and reduction of energy use, preventing food waste, building and maintaining a green infrastructure, designing in anticipation of future climate conditions and cutting greenhouse gases.

These idiots who think that human beings have the power and ability to control the workings and the forces of Nature is laughable. I want to see John Kerry put on his Superman cape the next time a hurricane or tornado strikes, grab it by the tail, and sling it out into space—and hope it doesn’t cause a meteor storm.
I’d laugh if someone TRIED… BUT for these nitwits, here’s a great start.
EVERYONE RIDES A bike (peddle). NO more cars.
You want to heat your homes. CHOP WOOD. No more natural gas or electricity, unless you’ve a Dyamo linked to your bikes.
OH, and no more cell phone and towers. WRITE Using pen and paper!
I suggest that the The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners quit heating their homes, I suggest they quit driving their cars and I suggest they quit cooking, because all of the above causes “climate change”. These clowns can live in a cave and when they move into the caves, they will not be allowed to start fires, because this will cause “climate change”. Let these idiots freeze in their caves, that way we will have no liberals in society!
We shouldn’t just me making it a Suggestion. WE SHOULD BE MAKING IT A REQUIREMENT.
I would much rather see the hurricane pick up Kerry and toss him into space !
