Green New Deal co-author Sen. Markey mocked for accusing McConnell of 'rushing' Senate vote

One of the co-authors of the Green New Deal is slamming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for announcing he’s bringing the resolution to a vote.

However, after McConnell told the press that he would bring the Green New Deal to a vote, Markey took to Twitter to slam the decision.

“Don’t let Mitch McConnell fool you: this is nothing but an attempt to sabotage the movement we are building. He wants to silence your voice so Republicans don’t have to explain why they are climate change deniers. McConnell wants this to be the end, this is just the beginning,” Markey tweeted. “This isn't a new Republican trick. By rushing a vote on the #GreenNewDeal resolution, Republicans want to avoid a true national debate & kill our efforts to organize. We’re having the first national conversation on climate change in a decade. We can’t let Republicans sabotage it.”

How exactly is it sabotage if they are voting on the bill you're bringing forward?

The thing that never gets brought up is the number of humans in what I call the Matrix issue. in the matrix robots used us for batteries off the heat we produce, we are actually terrible batteries, we don't produce enough heat to offset our consumption. but we are walking talking space heaters. stick enough of us in one space and it can get real hot real quick.

now obviously the world is huge, huge, even compared the almost 8 billion people here. but that heat has to go somewhere.

I don't bring this up as some rebuttal to climate change, just saying that we have to have an impact on the actual temp. not just the carbon we produce, or the damage to the environment we do.

going back to my schooling I think the human body produces as much heat as a 100 watt lightbulb (incandescent). incandescent are terribly inefficient, I can't remember how much of the energy they eat goes towards light vs heat, but I know its tiny in comparison.
100 watts x 8,760 hours = 876,000 watts per hour per person per year.
876,000 x 7,700,000,000 = 6.7452^e15 watts of heat energy a year for the worlds population.
6,745,200,000,000,000 watts
that's a decent bit of excess heat to account for. and the temperature change isn't that drastic.

just wondering if the literal human factor has ever been considered.

Was Bill Martella still teaching HVAC systems when you went thru school?

My refrigerator light switch stuck once and I could not figure out why my fridge was so hot. With insulation
almost melted the plastic and could have burned my house down
As you said heat has to go somewhere
