Climate Emergency

My message today is loud and clear: Since Congress is not acting on the climate emergency, I will.

And in the coming weeks my Administration will begin to announce executive actions to combat this emergency.

— President Biden (@POTUS) July 20, 2022

“Is Joe Biden really going to issue a climate emergency less than a week after flying thousands of miles to Saudi Arabia to beg OPEC for oil?“

Sweeping Regulations

Declaring a climate emergency would enable Biden to unleash sweeping actions to restrain greenhouse gas production. But some of those steps would be politically explosive.

Many of Biden’s supporters in Congress are urging him to go bold nonetheless.https://t.co/1lVtp4UcUE

Please note Biden Calls Climate ‘an Emergency’.

President Biden said he considered the environmental risks created by climate change to be “an emergency” and signaled plans to use his presidential powers “to turn these words into a formal, official government action.”

“Let me be clear: Climate change is an emergency,” Mr. Biden said, adding that he plans to announce formal actions in the “coming weeks.”

“Since Congress is not acting as it should,” Mr. Biden said, he considered climate change “an emergency. And I will—I will look at it that way.”

Gina McCarthy, Mr. Biden’s top climate adviser, told reporters aboard Air Force One that the administration would be rolling out a number of climate-related executive actions in the coming weeks.

“We’re not ready to give up on our strong goals. We’re going to double-down to make sure we get those,” she said. “And while it’s disappointing that Congress couldn’t get it over the finish line, that in no way precludes the president from using the full range of his executive authorities to get us to where we need to go.”

How Stupid Could This Get?

10. Use existing executive branch trade and tariff authority to establish a carbon border tariff for imports from countries with worse relative carbon emissions, based on industry carbon density.

Carbon Tariff Borders

To answer my question as to how stupid this can get: “Use existing executive branch trade and tariff authority to establish a carbon border tariff for imports from countries with worse relative carbon emissions, based on industry carbon density.”

Executive Beast Mode

With legislative climate options now closed, it’s now time for executive Beast Mode.

— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) July 15, 2022

Democrats moaned about Trump’s executive orders. What they seek is orders of magnitude greater.

The Supreme Court has already ruled 6-3 that the EPA does not have the power to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants without Congressional approval.

The Court has also stricken Biden’s Covid mandates and eviction moratoriums.

Climate change has been a subject of debate for decades and has been ongoing forever. There is no sudden emergency.

Like it or not, there is little Biden can do that will survive Supreme Court scrutiny.

Perhaps he will ban Al Gore and John Kerry from flying around the world in their private jets. Maybe Congressmen/women should have to drive home or take a train. That would be just too damn bad. No jet home for Nancy to tell her husband what next weeks trades will be.

Not true at all. There is very little to debate based on science and evidence based data.

The libertarian answer to everything is to do nothing at every turn no matter the circumstances and then say even less should have been done. This is akin to the captain of a ship seeing an iceberg and doing nothing to avoid it. The worse analogy here would be standby and watch someone being raped and do nothing because it didn’t involve them. Libertarianism means everyone should do nothing and say nothing about anything that doesn’t involve them.

There is plenty to debate. Science is never settled. The climate is complex. It is not just Carbon Dioxide. It got colder in the U.S. after the hot 1930’s,into the 1970’s, even with CO2 increasing.

Climate change is a political narrative, just as the Covid response has been. Safe and effective is a marketing slogan, not scientific fact.

Thanks to America’s free and prosperous economy, technological innovations, and reasonable environmental regulations, the U.S. has reduced the aggregate emissions of the six “criteria pollutants” listed in the Clean Air Act by 77% since 1970. These improvements have come as U.S. GDP has nearly tripled and energy consumption, primarily from fossil fuels, has grown by 48%. The WHO reports that U.S. cities have lower densities of particulate matter than most cities across the world. In fact, our ambient air pollution levels are so low as to be near natural levels.

Of course, there’s always room for improvement but as is typical with rabid Democrats they will inflict $$Billions of damage to the US economy and solve virtually nothing because the planets pollution is coming from India and China. And Democrats wrongly blame man for the climate change even though since the 2020 lockdowns global emissions have been drastically reduced. Our current heatwave is not a crisis caused by man, it is a natural change that the planet goes through periodically.

So, yes, there is much to be debated but people like yourself don’t want to think – they just want to knee jerk react.

Why should anyone accept what the Supreme Court says since we now know several judges lied under testimony to get appointed. At the end of the day the court should be another elected office where the holder can be voted out. Libertarians will love this court when it comes to regulation but they will soon rue it as well.

Many have no idea how bad the climate crisis is going to get without rapid and major energy use transformation, and how wrong the deniers are. Saying idiotic, ignorant things like the climate has always changed, or it’s sunspots!, or picking ridiculous random data points not informed by a knowledge of climate history and science is not going to impact that one bit. You literally have no idea. It’s only getting started, and accelerating faster than expected. By the time you understand this, it will be too late. Failed agriculture, massive migration of starving desperate people, swamped shorelines, drought destroyed water supplies, armed conflict, all coming sooner than you think.

The Extreme Court is a court stolen by Moscow Mitch, a pack of theocratic extremist nut cases whose views are supported by no more than about 30% of the population. That is a recipe for disaster. They are the activists that they projected on the rest of us, and worse, they are driven by their idiotic religion, and want to impose a white male patriarchical autocracy. Essentially, they are christofascists. They have no validity in the minds of a majority of Americans.

They want to get in your bedroom and tell you what you can and cannot do there, and elsewhere too. They want raped 10 year old girls to have their rapist’s baby. Huh? That’s just the beginning. They are coming for many of your other rights as well. They are drunken on false power, and have lost their minds.

We will not tolerate this Extreme Court or its antediluvian rules. When they ask if the country is on the wrong track, this is another reason why we say YES.

This country is heading for very bad times politically when a despised minority like the Extreme Court tries to foist their unwanted jack boot idiocy on the majority, through judicial legislating by Federalist groomed judges put there to protect the wealthy and elite while riling up the ignorant white supremacist racists for some imaginary glory they flail over.

Those who may scoff, realize this. You will eventually see.

I understand it is very difficult to have your rabid leftist ideas overturned by the Supreme Court – when you consume MSM lies month after month, year after year, and don’t think through the positions you hold on a given subject, it can be very hard to accept when sanity is enforced via leadership. Fixing the trickle of pollution coming out of the US, Canada, and Europe won’t solve the planets pollution problem when the firehouse of pollution is running full throttle in China and India. Your have your eyes on the wrong problem. Further, we are in a natural cycle of global heating – if it were man made we would have seen some reversal since the lockdowns that started in 2020 because global emissions have been drastically reduced. I know you’ll explain that away – that’s what rabid leftists do. Listen to your master and don’t think for yourself LOL

We are caught between a rock and a hard place. Two big problems; lack of energy and global warming / climate change. The immediate, and more important problem of the two right now is not enough energy to meet growing demand. More people are probably going to die from that this year than from climate change (though plenty will die from climate change).

Insufficient energy will be a problem for the rest of this decade. That’s why I am heavily invested in oil and gas stocks. However, I suspect the energy problem will get sorted out by around 2030. And by then, global warming and climate change are going to be much worse than today.

For those here who keep talking about sunspots, global cooling, the flat earth, and other nonsense, I am not going to bother debating your stupidity. You simply aren’t worth the effort.

There is no perfect climate. Climate is always bad somewhere. People in Fairbanks Alaska sufferer from the climate every winter. There are no cities in Antarctica, either. The population of Canada is small, considering it is frigid every winter. Few people live in the Outback in Australia as it has always been hot and dry in their summer.

Los Angeles is packed with people, as it has a nice climate. Seldom does it snow. We have a drought every year, called dry season. In 1977, when it was cooler, Lorne Greene was on TV ads calling for water conservation,when i moved here. The California state water board flushes near 50% of water out to sea for environmental purposes, without use by Californians. Eight years ago there was a bond measure passed to increase storage. No projects have been started. Government is at fault.

We are into the 3rd solar cycle with significantly reduced sunspots. We’ll know in a couple years if the current solar cycle 25 continues to decrease as we approach solar maximum for the 11-year cycle. As you well know, the same thing happened from 1645 to 1715 and is known as the Maunder Minimum that created widespread crop failure due to lower temps. If this is happening again, we’ve been given a gift in terms of lowered temps. But if this is true, then we’d better do something about it, since we’re approaching the 1/2 point into what may be more or less a 70-year cycle.

There is no climate emergency. CO2 at 400 parts per million is not driving large wholesale changes to the earth’s long term weather patterns or climate. It won’t at 800 ppm, and we’ll run out of fossil fuels by then.

What there is instead is an energy crisis due to the fact that fossil fuels are nonrenewable and “scarce” according to the economic definition. We always knew we would “run out” of fossil fuels eventually, that peak oil would come eventually (the argument was over “when” not “if”), and that alternatives would need to be found if we wished to continue with modern civilization. That’s why they built and still build nuclear reactors when we had lots of fossil fuels left. It is understood that fossil fuels are not a long term solution. It was seen as wise to try something else. Wind and solar were already known to be insufficient and non-scalable due to well understood thermodynamic limits. Technology cannot overcome thermodynamics. If it could, we’d have a perpetual motion machine by now.

The real emergency, from the point of view of the powers that be, is that the general population is competing with them for the limited remaining fuels. The powers that be would far rather reserve the remaining fuels for their jets, yachts, 40,000 sqft airconditioned mansions, and militaries. Untold consumption for them, none for you.

But how do you sell the idea that fossil fuels should be reserved for the rich and powerful? Well, there is the price mechanism in the markets, but the rich and powerful don’t want to pay more either. Competing with 1 billion Chinese people who all want a few liters for their scooter is going to make filling up that yacht mighty expensive. So why not make you feel evil for consuming fuel? Sell you on the solar-wind scam? Let you spend your entire life savings on a battery powered car and a solar array which, conveniently, they will sell you? (And a bicycle so you can get around while waiting days for the panels to recharge the car.)

So that is the plan they came up with. Manipulate you into believing you are evil for using fossil fuels while they remain available. Use the tax system to make it preventatively expensive for you. Sell you a bill of goods that if you buy a (useless) solar panel you’ll be fine. Then sell you the (useless) solar panel.

Folks, it is an energy crisis, not a climate crisis. They (TPTB) are lying to you about what is happening, why, and what they propose to do about it.

There is probably a way forward, although I don’t know if the economics pan out. That would be advanced (and thus hopefully safer) nuclear. But maybe the powers that be know something about the viability of that too that they aren’t telling us. The Chinese and the Russians don’t seem to be afraid of building reactors though. They also aren’t panicking about the climate. If climate change was real, and the Chinese government knew it, well, look what they did with Covid to get an idea what they could do. Yet they do nothing.

Weather variability is not climate! Weather is not correlated with climate in the short-term. Climate changes include ocean temperature trends, particulate matter in the atmosphere, glacier melt, average annual global air temperature, etc. Yes, the earth’s climate changes over time, but such changes have been measured by analyzing ice cap core samples. Those core samples indicate that on average global average temperatures have changed 1.0 degrees Celsius per 1000 years. Since 1880, global annual average temperatures have warmed by 1.1 degrees Celsius. So, the emergency of climate change is not that the climate is changing, but that it is changing 10x faster than it has over the last 500,000 years.

So what you are saying is that currently climate trends are within the historical range? How is that an emergency?

Carbon dioxide can cause a greenhouse effect, but not at the 400 ppm (parts per million! Or 0.04%! Or think of it this way: If the atmosphere were $100, CO2 would be 4 cents of that. It’s what they call a “trace element”.). It won’t be a significant greenhouse driver at 800 ppm, and by then we’ll have run out of hydrocarbon fuels.

And plants need it to live. Where we were at, CO2 wise, before the industrial revolution, plants were in danger of dying out completely in the next 100 million years due to not enough CO2 in the air to support photosynthesis. That would have meant the end of all life on the planet, although realistically nobody cares about the planet in 100 million years. But as far as the planet goes, we extended the amount of time life can exist on the planet by several hundred million years by injecting some CO2 back into the atmosphere, from which it came.

Earth is warming at 10X the pace that temperature changes have occurred over the last 500,000 years. As temperatures in the atmosphere rise, the oceans absorb excess trapped heat and that thermal change within the ocean expands the size of the water molecule and contributes to sea levels rises. Additionally, rising temps accelerate the melting of glaciers and the polar ice caps, which adds water volume to the oceans, further increasing sea levels. As Gretzky famously said, don’t skate to where the puck is, skate to where the puck is going. This trend is well established and must be slowed down and eventually reversed.

So when one finds fossilized sea creatures 700 feet about high tide, is that the result of oceans expanding from heat? And where did all that water go to, anyway?

See, I thought the sun warmed the surface of the ocean, increasing evaporation, thereby creating clouds and reducing the effect of the sun… Plus hot water rises to the surface… Of course, underwater volcanic activity would change things… And the biggie in the equation, the Sun; does its output vary at all?

Any climate discussion should begin with the truth: Climate is very complex system with many interacting components, of which we know very little.

I will let you do the research. However, here is an article from Scientific American that goes into quite a bit of detail. I think if you research further you will find that their is a meaningful positive correlation between carbon particulate in the atmosphere and the unusually fast pace of warming over the last 100+ years. This is probably why around 90% of the world’s peer reviewed publications on the subject in the field of climatology demonstrate that climate change trends are unusual and positively correlated with carbon emissions. link to nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com

As a broad generality, he who claims a fact needs to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Let’s begin with your supporting hypotheses–per S.A. What exactly, is the ‘meaningful positive correlation’. R-square of 0.1, 0.2….0.99? Because this is where bull$hit starts. How much variance was explained by the model? Sample size? Is the data available?

Another broad generality: you usually find what you are looking for.

Now, I do not deny that humans have expanded to the point that they now have a noticeable effect on the planet. Seven-odd billion–acting like cockroaches… Enormous cities creating vast clouds of pollution, people zipping around in cars and planes…. etc.

The only climate change we really need fear is the next period of glaciation, but that probably won’t be coming for a few thousand years. When it does come, most of Europe and North America will get squashed under enormous glaciers and half the world will freeze or starve to death.

I agree that Biden is overstepping his authority. I also agree that the Supreme Court will overrule most of his executive actions. However I would say that diverting funds to pursue some climate program would be similar to Trump diverting funds to build a wall. These executive actions from both parties are a symptom of no political cooperation which started in earnest when Obama was elected. The US will go down on a third world country unable to get anything accomplished.

You are wrong bud. Biden did not such thing. Trump declared a national emergency in 2019 for his wall. The Supremes upheld it.

That’s correct but Supreme Court decisions are along party lines now. So border is an emergency for the Republican justices but climate is not. So 6-3 against Biden.

Saw this coming with trump’s “border emergency “…. Which resulted in no wall, but some well connected construction grifters got paid. The result of this “emergency “ will be about the same. Eventually we will have a dictatorship propped up by an endless stream of ‘emergencies’

The constitution is hacked and ratf**ked beyond all recognition.

The difference is one was a real problem that required immediate attention. And still does. The other isn’t.

The wall was never built. It did nothing.

Agreed. While exactly none of Bidens proclamations will survive any challenges it will unfortunately enable him to start spending billions (if not trillions) on them until they get over turned by the Supreme court.

So yeah grifters will make out like bandits and this includes the biggest grifter of all, Hunter and Joe Biden who will get their 10% for the big guy.

I think he’ll be used to get Joe to go along with everything. Otherwise hunter goes to jail. As long as Joe cooperates, Hunter gets a slap on the wrist at worst.

All he can do at this stage is read a teleprompter and mumble.

And either he either has cancer or he mistakenly said he did. Not sure which is worse. Having cancer isn’t something healthy minded people get wrong.

It’s shameful that the Dems fobbed off on us this senile old man as president. Couldn’t they have found someone else?

As you’ll recall, there was a legit panic in the primaries that Bernie was going to get the nomination and likely would not have beaten Trump with his kooky left wing policies.

So they trotted out the only person who would appear to the middle voters that he was a good alternative to Trump. The added bonus being that since he was senile, he wouldn’t make waves and could easily be controlled from behind by the people who really wanted to be president. In other words, I think it was by design that he was senile.

That shows how few people of talent are left in the Democrat Party. They couldn’t even find a middle roader that wasn’t senile.

There’s “Dems” and there’s “Dems”. It looked like the DNC+ desperately tried to find someone, but South Carolina voters picked Biden as the only recognizable candidate name. Kind of ironic, in a way, given the “South Carolina voters” probably ran heavily toward Black voters, and Biden … well Biden. If Biden were (R), his media image would have been the definition of racist.

Anyway, Biden’s campaign was toast before SC. But after? Super Tuesday, a one-shot deliberation which, unsurprisingly, went to the most recent, SC, winner.

Anyway, Biden was kinda the perfect Dem president. A total tool for technocrats on the federal payroll, and for professional political power players on the Dem side. That is, the furthest possible power center from Trump.
