As we are now well aware, Hillary Clinton doesn't think people who are concerned for the environment are leading worthwhile lives, certainly not a life as wonderful and fabulous and useful as hers.

"So you know Bernie Sanders is getting lots of support from the most radical environmentalists because he's out there every day bashing the Keystone pipeline. And, you know, I'm not into it for that. I've been-- my view is I want to defend natural gas. I want to defend repairing and building the pipelines we need to fuel our economy. I want to defend fracking under the right circumstances. I want to defend, you know, new, modern [inaudible]. I want to defend this stuff. And you know, I'm already at odds with the most organized and wildest. They come to my rallies and they yell at me and, you know, all the rest of it. They say, 'Will you promise never to take any fossil fuels out of the earth ever again?' No. I won't promise that. Get a life, you know."

Yes, those stupid radical environmentalists who oppose fracking, and the extraction of planet killing fossil fuels need to get a life and just ignore silly inconsequential stuff like this:

Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels in the U.S. fell between 2009 and 2013, but greenhouse gases from burning those fuels went up. The reason? More methane than previously thought may have been released into the atmosphere from fracking and burning natural gas, according to new research from Cornell University. [...]

Methane has about 35 times the power to warm the atmosphere as carbon dioxide over the span of a century, and about 86 times carbon’s warming power over 20 years — figure known as global warming potential, or GWP.

“Since 2008, coal use has decreased, in part due to the recession but also in part due to replacement of coal with shale gas to produce electricity,” [Cornell University environmental biologist Robert Howarth] said. “This reduction in coal has led to a decrease in CO2 emissions. However, methane emissions have increased dramatically because of the increased production of shale gas. When both gases are considered, the total greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector of the U.S. have been rising since 2008 at the fastest rate seen in many decades.”

(See, also, this, this and this, to show but a few of the many studies and articles about the increase in methane releases thanks to increased drilling and fracking for shale gas.)

Well, whoop-di-doo says Hillary. This isn't an issue she thinks is all that important don't you know. In her own words:

"You know, I'm having conversations in these town halls and these meetings I'm having with a lot of people who break into my meetings, they hold up posters, they scream at me, and all the rest of that: 'Stop extracting fossil fuels, stop extracting on public lands, come out against nuclear, coal' you name it. They are after everything and I'm just talking through them. And of course they go support somebody else. That's fine and I don't particularly care. But I do think I have to say, look, given everything else we have to do in this country, this is not an issue for me that I'm going to say I support. I want to work on other stuff."

Yes, she wants to work on other stuff, like preserving business opportunities for Wall Street and Big Oil in the Middle East by perpetuating endless war.

Much of the content of these speeches to U.S. bankers dealt with foreign policy, and virtually all of that with warfare, potential warfare, and opportunities for military-led domination of various regions of the globe. ... “I’m representing all of you,” Clinton says to the bankers in reference to her efforts at a meeting in Asia. Sub-Saharan Africa has great potential for U.S. “businesses and entrepreneurs,” she says in reference to U.S. militarism there.

Meanwhile, those crazy, radical environmentalists Hillary finds so annoying and, I might add, "deplorable," are running around with their hair on fire over things like - the exponential growth in wildfires in the United States caused by Climate Change. From Science Daily:

A new study says that human-induced climate change has doubled the area affected by forest fires in the U.S. West over the last 30 years. According to the study, since 1984 heightened temperatures and resulting aridity have caused fires to spread across an additional 16,000 square miles than they otherwise would have -- an area larger than the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined. The authors warn that further warming will increase fire exponentially in coming decades. The study appears in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"No matter how hard we try, the fires are going to keep getting bigger, and the reason is really clear," said study coauthor Park Williams, a bioclimatologist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. "Climate is really running the show in terms of what burns. We should be getting ready for bigger fire years than those familiar to previous generations."

Environmentalists are risking their lives and their freedoms to stop continued fossil fuel extraction and usage, the major driver of climate change
as our own government funded scientists at NASA, such as James Hansen and Gavin Schmidt, among many others have demonstrated.

Climate change is responsible for more extreme weather events, mega-droughts, famine and food security, rising sea levels, safe water supplies and water scarcity, the acidification of the oceans, and the extinction of millions of species upon which the delicate web of life on this planet, including human life, depends. Yet, Hillary Clinton doesn't think that this is an issue she should be wasting her time on. This isn't an issue she "supports." She wants to "work on other stuff." You know, like war, and helping our mega-banks out, and protecting the freedom of oil and gas companies to "drill baby, drill."

So my question to Hillary Clinton (and to all of you), is what kind of life do environmentalists really need to get? Seems to me they already have their hands full trying to save the lives of everyone else, even stupid, greedy, ignorant, selfish, power-hungry narcissists who think they are entitled to be President of the United States just because it's their turn.
