One thing that the cult of climate hysteria insists is true (even though it’s not) is that “the science” is on their side. But Hollywood has-been Jane Fonda came out on MSNBC a few days ago and added a few more reasons why there is a “climate crisis.”
Fonda made the remarks on “The Beat with Ari Melber.”
“What you realize is, if there were no racism, there’d be no climate crisis,” the actress said. “If there was no misogyny, there’d be no climate crisis. It’s part of a mindset. It’s the mindset that looks at a woman and says, ‘nice t*ts,’ or ‘she could work in the fields.” It’s the same mindset as the person who looks at the tree and says, ‘flooring — that could make good flooring.”
“Everything is transactional, everything is hierarchical, certain things matter more than other things. So, what has to happen is we not only have to stop new fossil-fuel developments, we have to change our mindsets,” the former starlet explained.
You know what is also “transactional”? Fonda’s former home in Los Angeles — a 7,100-square-foot mansion on a 36,000-square-foot lot. Fonda sold that home in 2018 for $8.5 million.
The 84-year-old Fonda was in Washington, D.C., in early December to participate in a climate protest. In September, she announced that she has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
In an interview with DCist, Fonda spoke about what has made her so animated about climate change:
Well, I’m going to spend the rest of what time I have trying to confront the climate crisis, trying to build a movement. You know, yesterday I lobbied on the Hill and every senator and congressperson that I met with said, “build the opposition out there. Make it loud. We need voices. We need you to be heard.”
At the climate protest, Fonda pressed President Joe Biden to declare a climate emergency.
“We must hold the folks we got into office accountable. Accountable to us, not to oil companies,” she told the crowd.
“It’s up to Biden right now, right?” she said. “And we’re calling on him today and every day to declare a national climate emergency.”
Asked by Melber specifically what Biden should do in order to address climate change, Fonda answered: “Declare a climate emergency. If he declared a climate emergency it would unleash so many powers that he has, that congress bestowed on the president, he could stop crude oil exports, he could stop the subsidies — $20 billion we give to the fossil fuel industry every year — he could stop issuing permits, he could do all kinds of things.”
Fonda spent much of her time on MSNBC attacking the fossil fuel industry as if it were the sole reason for every ill the world is facing.
“We have to stop the fossil fuel industry from dictating what our government does. They have a stranglehold on our government, and it’s got to end,” Fonda said.
In reality, fossil fuel — and the capitalism that utilizes it — has pulled millions of people out of abject poverty in the last century and a half. It has also been a primary force in saving millions from destructive weather that the climate zealots are so worried about.
Of course Hanoi Jane is a hypocrite — her former 7,100-square-foot, energy-guzzling home is proof of that. Indeed, her engagement in and reliance upon an industry (Hollywood) that wastes more fossil fuel and uses more energy unnecessarily (do we really need another multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster, after all?) than any other is further proof.
But the actress’ rhetoric is still galling. And furthermore, it’s scientifically inaccurate.
