Bernie Sanders said that he will vote against an upcoming bill to fund the government if Democrats include a deal to fast track a pipeline to appease Joe Manchin.
“In the past, a series of climate disasters like these might have seemed like a silly plot in a bad movie about the apocalypse. Unfortunately, however, what we are living through now is not a movie — it is reality,” Sanders said. Further, he added, “this entire scenario, what we are seeing now, will almost definitely become worse in years to come if the United States, China, and the rest of the world do not get our act together and break our dependency on fossil fuels.
With all of these things in mind, Sanders said, it is absurd that the Senate is considering passing legislation to fast trackSenators have a choice, he emphasized: They can listen to the scientists, frontline communities and climate activists who are begging lawmakers to reject the pipeline deal and draw down the use of fossil fuels in the U.S., or they can listen to the fossil fuel industry, which has lied for decades about the effects of fossil fuels in order to pad their profits.
