Green New Deal architect Rhiana Gunn-Wright sounded the alarms on Thursday, warning that climate change can result in “25 Holocausts.”
The conversation began when MSNBC host Ali Velshi, noting that climate change ranks high among Democratic voters but not nearly as high as others like health care, prompted him to ask Gunn-Wright why there has to be a “separate conversation” with climate change versus health care.
“So in the issues that you just brought up, climate change is one of the main drivers of our public health. So the difference between, say, 1.5 degrees of warming — which is the least that folks think that we can get — to 2, you are talking about 150 million deaths,” Gunn-Wright said. “That’s 25 Holocausts, right? So how is that not a health issue? How is that not about health care?”
Gunn-Wright elaborated that on the issue of immigration that climate change will lead to “hundreds of millions of climate refugees” from both outside and inside the United States, arguing that “every issue” voters care about are impacted by climate change.
She also dismissed the hefty price tag of the Green New Deal because the costs of not doing anything she insists is greater.
“The fact is that we have to start thinking about the cost of inaction because they are mounting and they are mounting quickly,” she continued. “And everyone agrees that they are higher than what we can even estimate right now. And so you cannot talk about the cost of dealing with a problem if you don’t talk about the cost of not dealing with that same problem.”
She later told Velshi that “people of color are dying daily from fossil fuel pollution,” a claim that went unchallenged by the MSNBC host.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It demonstrates how the Global Warming hysterics can not engage in critical thinking. The idea that a tiny temperature difference could cause mass destruction is … well it’s crazy. These kinds of differences occur every year and we’re still here and none the worse for wear.
The Democrat Media Complex TV “host” is complicit. Both of these characters will do and say anything in the grab for political power and floods of money.
UN CLIMATE CHANGE IS NAZI PLAN FOR THEIR NEW WORLD ORDER!
As 1992 UN CLIMATE CHANGE reached consensus (failed in 1972) in 192 countries allowed UN control of education & media to reprogram society for their NWO & World Genocide!
As usual I suppose I agree with SONNYHILL’s take . The MSM have gone
full on opinion with it definitely slanted hard left . Maybe that’s why their
viewership is falling. CNN pumping the Russia hoax 7/24 and then it blows up in their face . You can’t even have civil conversations it seems .
You don’t want to go to a gay parade … well then you are branded homophobic or worse …no matter that you don’t go to any parades .
You don’t believe the earth has a fever …. well then you are a holocaust denier .
Really this will not end well .
I’m giving less and less attention to the media. It’s non stop evidence of the dumbing down of society. There’s intelligent life here on Earth, but television and the Internet point the video camera at Bedlam? Belligerence is their business.
These Eco-Nazis/Watermelons wont be happy until the whole Nation the Whole World returns to a primative state if the wackos are wanting to ban the Internal Combustion Engine using Junk Science and fake data they will These have become a dangerous new age pagan cult of Earth Worshipers demanding the usial sacrifices just like the Aztecs did
It is difficult not to resort to name calling when these people are so incredibly stupid. Think about what Gunn-Wright said. The difference between 1.5 and 2.0 degrees of warming would results in 150 million deaths. That is only 0.5 degree, less than the natural variation we find from some years to others. Like the claim that tornadoes and hurricanes are increasing, I noticed that there was no study cited to back up her claim. The climate refugee prediction is recycled from not long ago. In 2010 there was supposed to be a 100 million climate refugees.
‘That’s 25 Holocausts, right?’
That’s not a recognized scientific measure.
What is it in Hiroshima bombs?
A precious, life-giving, beneficial, trace gas without which all life would end. We need more of it.
While they are just making crap up how about the 100 million fuel poverty deaths caused by an overblown fraud .
So the pitch they are making is we can control the earths temperature through a trace gas that humans are partially responsible for . And it is that portion , a fraction of one percent that they are going to control the earths temperature within a degree or so .
Way too much acid in the 60’s . Why are these clowns even listened to ?
