Biden’s ‘Existential Threat’ Reconsidered
By Robert L. Bradley, Jr.
“Is there any more single-minded, simple pleasure than viewing with alarm,†asked ecological economist Kenneth Boulding in 1970. In the last half-century, the scare has gone from mass starvation (the “population bombâ€) to mineral exhaustion (oil and natural gas shortages, in particular) to global cooling (mini-Ice Age) to global warming (aka climate change).
President Biden’s “climate day†(January 27, 2021) continues the scare litany in the service of expanded government at home and abroad. Dense mineral energies, the fossil fuels, are the main culprit. The U.S. must lead and sacrifice in the war against oil, gas, and coal despite our 14 percent (and falling) share of global CO2 emissions.
“This executive order I’m signing today also makes it official that climate change will be at the center of our national security and foreign policy,†Biden stated.
