Seneta wa Jumbo la Utah, Mike Lee amesema kuwa suluhisho la mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ni kufunga ndoa na kupata watoto
Ameyasema hayo alipokuwa akichangia mjadala wa mpamgo mpya wa kudhibiti mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa ulioletwa katika Bunge la Seneti
Mike amesema tatizo hilo litatuliwa na ongezeko la watu kwani kutakuwa na ubunifu zaidi na soko la bidhaa za utunzaji wa mazingira hata Wanaume watakuwa wakifikiria kuhusu wakati ujao kwasababu ya watoto walio nao
Matatizo ya Wanadamu ni ngumu kutatuliwa kwa sheria bali kwa kuacha Wanadamu watafute suluhisho la asili

(CNN) — Utah Sen. Mike Lee on Tuesday called babies and families the solution to climate change in response to a Democratic plan to overhaul the economy through the Green New Deal proposal.
The Republican made the suggestion while blasting the Green New Deal on the Senate floor.
Lee employed poster-board sized pictures of the superhero Aquaman and former President Ronald Reagan riding a velociraptor so he could "consider the Green New Deal with the seriousness it deserves."
Problems of human imagination are not solved by more laws, they're solved by more humans," he said. "More people mean bigger markets for more innovation. More babies mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems."
Lee is currently working on legislation to support families by providing paid parental leave, his press secretary, Conn Carroll, told CNN.
The senator's comments came ahead of a vote Tuesday afternoon on the Green New Deal, a massive policy proposal championed by freshman Rep.
Alexandria Oscasio Cortez, a New York Democrat. The vote is expected to be blocked by Democrats, who support many of the ideas in the plan but believed Republicans are trying to score political points by forcing a vote.
Lee, however, called the Green New Deal "ridiculous," comparing it to an image of Reagan firing a machine gun while riding a dinosaur. He said that, while the image is "awesome" it did not depict reality.
"This image has as much to do with overcoming communism in 20th Century as the Green New Deal has to do with overcoming climate change in the 21st," Lee said.
He called the policy a "token of tribal identity" rather than a serious policy proposal. He pointed to comments in a set of FAQs, which supporters of the proposal said were prematurely published, that called for getting rid "of farting cows and airplanes." The actual proposal introduced in Congress does not contain that idea.
He claimed that, if the policy passed, those in Alaska would need to travel on tauntauns, mythical creatures from the Star Wars movie franchise. Meanwhile, he said a fleet of 20-foot seahorses, the kind ridden by Aquaman, would be necessary to maintain Hawaii's tourism industry.
Though Lee recognized the proposals on planes and cows are not part of the Green New Deal itself, he said their accidental publication in FAQs was still worrisome.
"The supporters of the Green New Deal want Americans to trust them to reorganize our entire society, our entire economy and restructure our very way of life. And they couldn't even figure out how to send out the right press release," Lee said.
"Like many other women + working people, I occasionally suffer from impostor syndrome: those small moments, especially on hard days, where you wonder if the haters are right. But then they do things like this to clear it right up. If this guy can be Senator, you can do anything," she tweeted.
In another post, the congresswoman criticized Lee for using his congressional allowance on the Aquaman poster while calling the Green New Deal a waste of money.
