Bernie is making a direct comparison. The costs of the GND against the costs involved in this fire. A direct comparison cannot be made between the two.
Bernie's post lacks context. If this were a Trump tweet, it would already have 5 Pinocchios.
Except he isn't comparing the cost of these events, he's making a point about the increased frequency, which is clear because he's referencing things that are all happening at once that have never happened at once, and in the case of the artic topping 100 degrees something that's literally never happened.
You guys are making a lot of assumptions about the content (that it's intended as a direct cause-effect relationship) which are debunked by a basic understanding of the science and the content of the tweet itself, and ignoring essential context in that these are all happening at once meaning it's a statement about the frequency.
This is the problem with conservatism in America, you guys can't make honest criticism about these things. Instead of having a discussion that accept we need to do something and we need to figure out the details, you guys are making obviously dishonest criticisms about how the issue is presented in tweets, or going out of your way to not read the GND and parroting propaganda instead.

So in your opinion, the GND would have prevented this years forest fires? Got it :lol:
You need to do some introspection on why you are adding so many assumptions to the statements of everybody you talk to.
