On July 20, President Biden gathered with his climate-change super friends at Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset, Massachusetts to relay this message to the American people:
“As President, I have a responsibility to act with urgency and resolve when our nation faces clear and present danger. And that’s what climate change is about. It is literally, not figuratively, a clear and present danger.” [bold, links added]
To emphasize just how dire the “climate crisis” has become, Biden added, “The health of our citizens and our communities is literally at stake.”
Of course, Biden offered no evidence or data to support these outrageous claims of imminent doom.
Instead, he relied on fearmongering and less-than-truthful statements to incite a sense of panic among the American people.
For instance, here are just a few of the hyperbolic declarations brought to you by the leader of the free world when it comes to the “existential” threat of climate change:
“The U.N.’s leading international climate scientists called the latest climate report nothing less than, quote, ‘code red for humanity.’”
“Our national security is at stake as well. Extreme weather is already damaging our military installations here in the States. And our economy is at risk.”
“Climate change is literally an existential threat to our nation and to the world.”
“Let me be clear: Climate change is an emergency.”
“When it comes to fighting the climate change — climate change, I will not take no for an answer.”
“If we don’t keep it below 1.5 degrees Centigrade, we lose it all. We don’t get to turn it around. And the world is counting on us.”
So, according to Biden, if we do not take drastic action immediately, the future of the world is in jeopardy.
But don’t worry, Biden claims he can solve the problem:
“In the coming weeks, I’m going to use the power I have as President to turn these words into formal, official government actions through the appropriate proclamations, executive orders, and regulatory power that a President possesses.”
Gee, I bet a vast majority of the American people wish Biden had the same sense of urgency when it comes to actual problems that affect the lives of everyday, hard-working Americans.
Apparently, unbeknownst to Biden and his climate-change-obsessed administration, the overwhelming majority of Americans do not believe climate change is a top problem.
In fact, as numerous recent polls demonstrate, the economy, namely inflation, consistently ranks as the main scourge impacting Americans’ lives on a daily basis.
Most Americans cite climate change near the very bottom of problems facing the country, pressing issues such as crime/violence, immigration, fuel prices, health care, family decline, homelessness, etc.
Yet, while these issues continue to spiral out of control, especially with regard to the economy and inflation, Biden is maniacally focused on the nonexistent climate change crisis.
Perhaps this is a reason why Biden’s approval rating is hovering near historic lows for presidents at this point in their first term.
In less than 18 months on the job, Biden has made an utter mess out of an economy that was in the midst of a V-shaped recovery after the pandemic.
He has flooded the nation with trillions of dollars, leading to the worst inflation rate in more than four decades.
He has barely lifted a finger to address the surge in violent crime or the complete chaos he has wrought by opening the southern border. The list goes on and on.
However, when it comes to combating climate change, which most Americans believe is a minuscule problem in the grand scheme, Biden pulls no punches.
At this point in his term, given his absolutely abysmal approval ratings and the approaching mid-term elections, one would hope Biden would change course and address the actual problems that are ravaging the American people.
Yet, based on what continues to come out of the White House, this seems less likely than Biden running again in 2024.

The other problems such as inflation and a possible recession are difficult problems to solve because you actually need to see something change while the “climate crisis” supposedly won’t see changes for decades, long after Biden is dead and won’t see the destruction that he’s wrought.
You know the answer to this. It’s already “baked” into the cake. Biden has surrounded himself (primarily) with BLIND IDEOLOUGES who have no capacity or inclination to see the world except through their “green prism.” Facts, reason & data DON’T MATTER when you are dealing with the equivalent of religious zealots. Therefore, their won’t be any “course change” on policy. They will run the country aground rather than admit the possibility they could be WRONG. The only way to begin to fix this is a GIANT “Red Wave” at the mid-term elections along with a coherent, forward looking, sensible “roadmap” from the Republicans to start digging us out of the growing “hole” these fanatics are creating, not only in energy & environmental but multiple other arenas. The voters better get smart & stay focused. The progressive element of the Democratic party needs to be reigned in before they do irreversible damage… I
I cannot think of a worse spokesman for any cause than Joe Biden. You do not want him to represent your cause. Corrupt, confused, condemned to be the worst president ever. He’s only got so much time left to serve America, and he rants about climate change? The Democrats need to hide him in a basement like they did in 2020.
Did this boofhead eat his breakfast this morning – I wonder ??
I feel really sorry of Americans – have such a fool for their president.
Climate is ten times LESS deadly than it was one hundred years ago – Bjorn Lomborg, author of “False Alarm”. EVERY one of a hundred CO2 driven climate models (theoretical multibillion dollar constructs) OVERESTIMATES temperatures compared to actual satellite and weather balloon data, and have done for thirty years – Dr. John Christy. All life is carbon-based. That carbon ALL COMES FROM CO2. Life could not exist without CO2. And CO2 has been dangerously and inexorably declining from fertile CO2 levels more than twenty times the starvation level lows of today. That is the science of the CO2 fertilization effect far too many schoolteachers and “journalists” fail to understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULpGDnuz308
