Dems ask NFL, NBA for suggestions on how to battle climate change
The letter to 300-plus companies and groups is among the first actions of the Bicameral Task Force on Climate Change that Democrats unveiled last week.
Recipients of the letter include oil and power companies such as Exxon and Southern Co., think tanks, environmentalists, defense contractors, retailers like Wal-Mart, financial companies like Goldman Sachs, food companies and many other sectors.
Also on the list: the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and other sports leagues.

Don’t laugh — the NHL is actually a profitable enterprise!

When a liberal politician asks a corporation what can be done to combat climate change what they’re really asking for is donations and public support in order to set up a new rent-seeking opportunity – see GM and insurance companies during the ObamaCare debate.

The way the NFL will deal with climate change is to demand that state and local governments build them a new $1 billion stadium and charge it off to the taxpayers. Heck, it worked in Minnesota.

I’m sure they’ll get an earful from Jerry Jones. Talk about “globull warming”…

Perhaps the NHL could explain the hockey stick…

They could travel to away games on high speed rail.

A duly elected body of the People’s representatives isn’t doing what Democrat tyrants have decided they must do, so they’re calling on El Presidente’ to do it by decree. This is what dictatorships look like.
