Durbin: Climate ‘Emergency’ Is ‘More Important Than’ Current Economy, Inflation
Host Ari Melber asked, “Is the global macro inflation a reason not to do something on climate right now? How do you work with your colleague there when sometimes his reasons don’t really match what’s happening?”
Durbin responded, “I respect Joe. I disagree with him. I think the global situation is an emergency, and if we’re not serious about it in this generation, our kids will pay a heavy, heavy price. We have to do everything that we can do, more important than any current economic statistics is the fact that if we don’t move soon, we’re going to do lasting damage to this planet we live on and our children will have fewer opportunities because of it. So, I would say to Joe, we may disagree, my friend, but when you think about your kids and grandkids, you’ve got to take an extra step forward.”
WH Confirms They Are Considering Radical Climate Move That Could Be Incredibly Destructive
So, they’re considering doing an end-run around being blocked by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in Congress and the Constitution, spending us into oblivion anyway. Now, we don’t know what he’s going to outline yet. But the leftist take on what should be done for a “climate emergency” is more than a little concerning.
They’re going to try to force us into killing fossil fuels, which will make the pain from rising gas prices and inflation that we have felt look like a holiday. It would kill the economy and devastate the country — all in the service of their climate craziness. Talk about a reason to throw them all out. If you didn’t have a reason before, this alone should motivate you.

Meanwhile countries in Europe are firing up coal plants and such as they realize the fatality in switching to unsustainable 'green' energy.
They're nothing more than a religious cult and deserve to be treated as such.
Open up all those places they housed the Japanese and Germans in during WWII and turn them into "Crazy Camps" for the leftists.
Put the homeless in there too since they can't seem to thrive on their own.

The climate change cycles are....hmm, SCIENCE. If they wish to deny the patterns of warming & cooling.....the impact of solar sun spots, the volcanic contributions, the Milankovich cycles,...and claim that lithium is the future, well....they are science deniers.
This is the drum beat of authoritarian fascism: Mandate the industries to obey, order banks to refuse loans to undesirable companies...dominate the airwaves with the message, take over the school curriculum, create masterpiece movies, shame opponents, fund the compliant universities---if you need a definition of fascism: This is it.

The way the government approaches climate change without including the science from the sun is very disingenuous. I guess there is no money to be made by being totally truthful.
The sun controls our earth. They never mention the weakening magnetic fields and the poles movements towards flipping. It has happened and it will happen again. We are in the peak of the 12,000 year cycle of the sun where we will experience geomagnetic storms the same as what was recorded in 1859. The Carrington Event had very little impact socially simply because we were not an electrically dependent nation. When it happens in the 21st century, our grids will be down for years. Be ready is all I can say.
I wonder if Joe Biden even realizes he'll go down in history as America's first fascist dictator?
... Or the first retarded one.

Who was also the first vegetable president.
Biden Has No Right To Declare A ‘National Climate Emergency’
We now have senators like Jeff Merkley, who told reporters on Monday that Biden’s emergency edict “unchains the president from waiting for Congress to act,” openly undermining their oath to the Constitution by attacking the institution they represent. Congress may have spent decades abdicating its responsibilities—which, despite conventional wisdom, isn’t to rubber stamp the Democrats’ agenda—but its members rarely advocated openly for executive abuse. I guess they’re evolving.
Bloomberg reports that a emergency declaration would “unlock” the president’s power to “redirect federal funding to clean-energy construction.” When Donald Trump enacted an emergency declaration to reallocate funding earmarked for military projects to build a wall on the U.S. Southern border—“a clear attempt to circumvent the legislative branch and one that I hope leads to the Supreme Court overturning the abused National Emergencies Act,” I wrote at the time, so save your emails—the entire establishment melted down. “Declaring a National Emergency Could Give Trump Authoritarian Powers,” a columnist at New York claimed. “A Win For Trump’s Authoritarian Agenda,” wrote another in Forbes. And so on. It’s worth remembering the border is within the purview of the federal government. Trying to control the weather is not.
Which brings us to another small problem: There is no emergency. Politicians might treat every hurricane, tornado, and flood as an apocalyptic event—and then conveniently blame their political opponents for failing to reign in nature—but by every quantifiable measure humankind is less affected by climate than ever before. Despite the massive expansion of fossil fuel use, despite the explosion of the world’s population, far fewer people die from the climate.
Our ability to adapt to the vagaries of weather and acclimatize to the realities of climate change—whatever they may be—is far cheaper than state-compelled dismantling of the Constitution (and modernity). You may vigorously disagree. And that is a political debate about policy that belongs in Congress among representatives of the people. If every hurricane, heat wave, or flood is a justification for unilateral federal executive governance, we will be in a perpetual emergency. Regulating carbon emissions is an open-ended invitation to regulate the entire economy. Which is the point.
And just as historically high gas prices—driven, in part, by the administration’s efforts to create fossil fuels scarcity—are slightly ebbing, Democrats want Biden “to halt crude oil exports, limit oil and gas drilling in federal waters, and direct agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency to boost renewable-energy sources.” Even if there was an emergency, the notion that diverting some money to prop up unreliable energy sources or subsidize more electric cars production is going to do anything to change the trajectory of the climate is a risible claim. The real emergency is that we have a lawless party pushing lawlessness.
Another Democrat, BTW.....

When Trump declared an emergency to build the wall he foresaw just what is happening right now with this idiot. And he was right.
For Biden to declare an emergency to build green solar panels and destroy the fossil fuel energy would bankrupt us all and put us on foot.
