Biden announces modest climate actions; pledges more to come

The president stopped short, though, of declaring a formal climate emergency,

The Democrats are there for stopping short measures to help the Earth and working populations.

As the Republicans push forward with a full on capitalist exploitation environmental apocalypse with fundamentalist characteristics.

The two party American duopoly needs to be dumped.

most stupid president of all time...

Doesn't know what he is saying and doing ...

America is heading to a collapse ..

Why did we listen the lies of Pelosi and her team in the beginning ???

Why the media is not discussing the true problems of our nation????

What are they afraid off??

What are they trying to hide from us???

The world is in turmoil...

China is the biggest threat to the world not climate....

SO pity .... How can we save our nation....

As a country USA was nation of pride but not any more..

It’ll all just be a bunch of executive orders, no big deal.

The only “crisis” is poor leadership from Biden and the Democratics.

The only “emergency” is how to best remove them.

Biden promotes hysterical reaction to environmental challenges, not effective adaptations that won’t ruin the economy.

Politicians are a hammer in constant search of a nail - or even a tack.

Exactly. Hopefully, normalcy will return after November when McCarthy is house speaker.

“Let me be clear,” Biden said

why is this and “make no mistake” so popular with leftists in speeches?

For me it just clarifies when the lie/propaganda part is starting.

Modest? Well, don't overstretch yourself.

Biden, Harris and Pelosi at the helm? The Russians and Chinese can't stop laughing! The whole Global South are giggling too.

No mention at all that the US military is one of the world's biggest polluters, producing more CO2 than over 140 countries?

"For example, the US Department of Defense is the largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels in the world – and the largest institutional emitter. Two of us worked on a 2019 study which showed that if the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal. In other words, the US military is a more consequential climate actor than many of the industrialized countries gathered at the COP26 summit in Glasgow."

Marc , people do not say this ,when their country imperil, or staying somewhere,where their is a present of American

You know, I will take the climate alarm seriously when I see the people who promote climate alarmism seriously. I want to see John Kerry sell a couple of his houses, stop taking private jets everywhere, attend conferences remotely, start eating locally produced food, etc. I will believe them when certain former Presidents, who declare that the sea levels are rising, stop buying oceanfront mansions.

But it won't happen. THEY love their lifestyles and plan to keep enjoying themselves. But Joe Sixpack? Gotta suffer for the sake of the planet.

Calls for a national emergency declaration to address the climate crisis have been rising among activists and Democratic lawmakers after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., last week scuttled talks on a long-delayed legislative package.

Manchin is a DINO (Democrat in Name Only). He is single-handedly subverting his party's agenda (broadly supported by American voters) to protect his own family's coal mining interests and corporate benefactors in WV. In that, he is like every Republican in the Senate: "let it burn." The Dems would hardly be worse off if a Republican held his seat. 

And, Yes, I am aware that 'elections matter' but in his case, not so much. He wants to keep on burning coal and resists any talk of tax hikes on the wealthiest Americans who benefited from DT's massive tax giveaway, a true windfall for the 1%.

Joe Manchin is doing a great job actually doing what his constituents who elected him want.

Other Dems should try that sometime instead of forcing these ultra leftist policies (inflation, crime, immigration) down peoples throats. Even Dem voters dont want most of this.

Reagan inked 3M green cards for illegals during his presidency. No Dem ever did that. Inflation is a world wide problem and will get worse with further climate damage. Why did Trump get out of the Paris agreement other than revenge for Obama making fun of Trump at the correspondents dinner? Regarding crime, what happened in red Texas with the mass school shootings and Patrick Crusius? Those are Trump policies at work. No one wants inflation, but we can't escape since it exists in Japan as well. How is inflation in Japan Biden's fault?

Climate change is only to negatively impact the non elite class and make them to suffer.

The elites continue to fly in their private jets and buy beachfront mansions.

Climate change caused wildfires.

Until we found that climate change activists set them intentionally In California.

Climate change gives advantages to our enemies who choose not to participate and benefit economically.

We have to go beg Saudi for oil, so that we can say we are "good" people and dont do that.

Climate change= its hot outside, until its cold outside later. more commonly known as "the weather".

Whatever your thoughts on climate change, pollution is real, global warming is real, reliance on fossil fuels and being held hostage by Saudi Arabia and Russia is real.

Anything that explores alternative energy is a sensible choice. If it also helps save the planet, great.

Nobody with any brains would argue against this.

So. Any thought in action for climate change? 

Yes, it’s happily destroying the Democrat party, the more they push this, the more people are turned off by this.

Keep inflation, immigration and crime for later. 

But that is what concerns people the most, but if Biden thinks that Chinese-made cheap renewables are better for the planet and it’s supposed to be cleaner, where does their energy come from?

I’ll go first, get the ball rolling. .

My opinion: I am all for wind power, especially that which is out of sight, off the coast, and not killing endangered species of birds. But that is going to be extraordinarily expensive and not going to produce very much power. We need to fully utilize all fossil fuels now and sunset that use by 2.5% every year for 30 years (75% reduction overall, at the end) while we invest heavily in Nuclear and hydro. Solar and wind will not cut it, folks. Just ask any true scientist.

Nuclear is good but the amount is limited.... it is impossible to get most of the world on nuclear for various engineering constraints.

fly private

Elon does, so? Then don't fly at all since all planes emit pollution. If I were a billionaire I would fly private or first class at least. If you are lucky then you are lucky.

extraordinarily expensive

Rising sea levels is exponentially more expensive . Look at Maimi (even now)

 killing endangered species of birds.

Like what species. It sounds like a Trump claim because Trump hates Obama's policies. What birds are we talking about?

go buy an electric car say the government elites.

What's wrong with more public mass transit in key American cities?

at least 150 eagles

The bald eagle is just a bird and not endangered. Humans are at the top of the food chain. What's all this concern for the bald eagle? They are all over the place now. the sacrifice of these birds are necessary so humans don't get lung cancer and they can enjoy their beach houses with less rising sea levels. The fate of the bald eagle is trivial

am all for wind power, especially that which is out of sight, off the coast, and not killing endangered species of birds.

Unfortunately some very dumb people were fooled into believing wind turbines cause cancer.

I know, crazy right?!
