“Climate change poses an existential threat to the U.S and the world,” Biden said at a former coal-fired power plant in Somerset, Mass. The Brayton Point plant is being renovated into a substation for the transmission of offshore wind power and a manufacturing plant for the underwater cables needed to bring offshore wind power to customers.
“One of the things I found out as President of the United States, I get to spend a lot of that money,” Biden said. “We’re going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle — I mean it.” He added: “We’re spending billions of dollars to do it.”
Biden’s 2022 budget proposal includes more than $36 billion to fight global climate change, an increase of more than $14 billion compared with to 2021 budget.
Because there are some smart people in congress like Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who didn’t agree that Joey should spend money like a drunken sailor, Biden is now resorting to using executive orders to get what he wants.
Steve Koonin, former Chief Scientist of Obama’s Energy Departmentt, former provost of Cal Tech, and currently teaching at New York University, said there is nothing in the official science that says it is existential; it’s just hype.
Fact: From the end of the 19th Century to present, the climate has warmed by 2 degrees Fahrenheit and is estimated to warm up approximately 2 degrees by the end of the 21st century. Since 1900 the world population has increased 4 times and we have seen the greatest improvement in human welfare said Mr. Koonin, who wrote Unsettled?, a book on the truth about climate.
In May, 2022, Biden celebrated record-high gas prices Monday, gushing that the pump pain was part of “an incredible transition” of the US economy away from fossil fuels.
Joe is now calling climate change an emergency hoping to appease his radical democratic party mates and wants to use his executive powers to spend more than 1/2 trillion dollars on his clean air bill. He and his administration travel on jets using thousands of gallons of fuel while polluting the skies. He should practice what he preaches and use electric cars.
93% of the American population is concerned about the rising inflation. They are also worried about gas prices, food prices, crime and immigration, but only 1% are concerned about climate change, but Joe is not listening and that’s why his approval rating is 18%.
Biden blew the exit from Afghanistan and got 13 people killed and left thousands behind for the Talban to torture and murder, and never mentions this mess he created.
He gave Cackling Kamala the job of fixing the southern border because he had no clue about what is going on but, unfortunately, neither does his VP. so nothing is being done about the cartels becoming very rich by sex trafficking, human trafficking and drug trafficking which are at an all time high. Biden never mentions these issues either, but only pushes his agenda.
The Biden administration’s plan is to open the borders letting 2 million illegals into our country thus far. These illegals are not being tested for transmittable diseases, and not being vetted but are given free housing, medical services, education, food and phones. The burden on the border patrol, and the cities where these illegals are being transported to doesn’t seem to be a concern for the administration. It’s the American people’s taxes that are paying for these people to live better than some Americans.
The priorities of this administration are so out of touch with reality, but the people will have their say in November.
This is my opinion and, as always, you are welcome to comment.
1st, it was the earth is cooling claim in the 70-80’s by “scientists”.
2nd was… the earth is losing it’s protective atmospheric ozone layer as identified in mid-70’s by 3 British “scientists” – Mario Molina, Sherwood Rowland, Paul Crutzen – who were awarded the Nobel Peace prize. They asserted CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons) were depleting ozone and would end-of-life event in 20 years. Fast forward: it fueled a new market & sales-profit surge in the chemical industry by significantly expanding replacement “solutions” to CFC chemicals, such as Freon.
In 2019 NASA & NOAA concluded the “hole” fluctuates in size to accommodate the Earth’s atmospheric need to vent — to naturally vent heat, emissions and compounds from the upper-atmosphere.
3rd was… the earth is warming claim in the 80-90’s by “scientists”.
4th was… the coastlines of the earth’s continents will be submerged by 2005 (claim from circa 1984) by “scientists”.
5th was… climate change is going to extinguish human life by 2035 (or 2028, or 2030, or 2032, or… depending upon who has your ears & attention).
It’s a distraction from another scam, manufactured event or outcome, political disaster, disingenuousness representation, foul-up, etc. OR another phobia to place into our hearts & minds to embrace another scheme that will lessen American’s power and quality of life.
I say, it’s both!
Politics, by any measure, is another four-letter word.
Great points, Gil. They can put their green ideas where the sun doesn’t shine.
