I’m not laughing.

John – Lauren tweeted out a real “zinger” a few days ago.

I don’t know if the congresswoman fancies herself a comedian, but personally, I don’t find this funny at all.

We could explain to Lauren that climate and weather are not the same thing, and that climate change is the cause of these extreme fluctuations in weather.

We could remind Lauren that the ten hottest years on record have all happened in the last 14 years, and that 2023 was the hottest year to date – by a LOT.

Of course we might not have to explain any of that if she bothered to listen to the Colorado cattle ranchers who are having to sell off their herds due to droughts caused by global warming.

But as a decorated, combat-wounded Marine, my biggest problem with Lauren’s little wisecrack is not that she has no idea what she’s talking about, it’s the fact that Lauren Boebert claims to care about our military and keeping our country safe while cracking jokes about one of the greatest national security threats we face.

It’s been 10 years since the Pentagon first declared climate change a major national security issue. Three years ago, they upgraded that threat level to an existential crisis.

In other words: this ain’t new information, and I expect a member of Congress to damn well know better.

Lauren may think climate change is a joke, but I’m not laughing, and neither are the people of Colorado. I’m running for Congress because I KNOW the climate crisis is serious and we need serious people who will fight for real solutions.

Here’s the thing, John. It doesn’t matter if Lauren made a dumb joke because she doesn’t know what she’s doing, or if she knows she’s lying to you. The outcome is the same.

I’m not going to waste my time trying to figure out what’s in Lauren Boebert’s head. We’ve got to get serious about the climate crisis or we are going to face real problems as a country.

Climate change is impacting our food supply, wrecking communities with floods, wildfires, and droughts – and driving good hardworking Americans out of a job.

I’ve seen our country do incredible things when we set our minds to it, and I know we can rise to this challenge and save our planet.

That’s why I’m in this race, and I’m glad to have you on the team with me.

Semper fi,

Ike
