VIDEO: NYC Wacko Mayor Bill De Blasio Hurricane Sandy Damage Caused By Big Oil
Sleepyhead New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D.) woke long enough to make an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to discuss his plans to divest New York City's pension funds from fossil fuel companies within five years in an effort to fight climate change.

De Blasio spoke about NYC's to divest the city's five pension plans of any big oil stocks. The funds currently have about $5 billion in fossil fuel investments.
NYC Suing Big Oil
De Blasio also said that New York City is suing five of the world's most powerful oil companies—BP, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Shell—for what he described as contributing to climate change and covering it up.

Of course, Climate Change advocates haven't shown any proof that climate change actually exists. Despite every prediction they ever made, such as England no longer having snow after the year 2000, has been laughably wrong.

But one of the most hated, and disrespected mayors in NYC's history, De Blasio is hell-bent on destroying the pension fund because of his skewed ideology.

de Blasio explained his reasoning. "That's why we're suing the five of the biggest petroleum companies, because like the tobacco companies some years ago, they understood this crisis," de Blasio said. "They tried very intently to cover up the information about climate change and to project a propaganda campaign suggesting that climate change wasn't real and go ahead and keep using your fossil fuels.

Earlier in the interview, New York Times reporter Nicholas Confessore pushed de Blasio to defend his plans to divest when fossil fuel stocks are doing well.

"At what point are you taking away from the ability of the pension bill to actually do well for the pensioners by making it a tool of political activism for values that you support and many New Yorkers support obviously?" Confessore asked.

"As a fundamental question, whenever you look at pensions, you have to think about the people we're here to protect—our retirees," de Blasio responded. "Our fiduciary responsibility comes up front, but you know what, if you're playing the long game in investments, fossil fuels don't make a lot of sense."

De Blasio argued that fossil fuels are "not a great long-term investment because the world rightfully is more and more moving away" from them, adding that New York City will lead in the fight to combat climate change because the Trump administration is not addressing the issue.
Hypocrite Democrats
The mayor seemed to blame the oil companies for causing Hurricane Sandy and the billions of dollars in damage that it caused New York in 2012.

It is amazing to me that just a few weeks ago, during the frigid cold spell that gripped the nation. When President Trump quipped 'about where all the global warming went?' The Democrats nearly hyperventilated crying "Weather and Climate Change are not the same things."

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

As usual, hypocrite Democrats like doofus de Blasio have no problem connecting weather events to climate change when it suits their agenda.
