 Biden says he has ‘practically’ declared a climate emergency
by Rachel Frazin - 08/09/23 9:25 AM ET

President Biden in a new interview says he has ‘in practice’ declared a national climate emergency, though he has not actually announced such a declaration.

A national emergency declaration on climate change is a specific tool the president has at his disposal that would unlock other powers related to climate change.

Experts told The Hill last year that these powers could range from using the Defense Production Act to provide loans to bolster climate-friendly energy sources and to prevent oil exports.

Asked by The Weather Channel in an interview that aired Wednesday about whether he was prepared to declare a national climate emergency, Biden responded that he had “already done that.”

“We’ve conserved more land. We’ve…rejoined the Paris Climate Accord,” he said, also appearing to allude to legislative accomplishments.

That's exactly what a dictator would say.

[LMAO]

What is a climate emergency? That the climate changes?

Summer.

What, exactly, is the "emergency", and what, exactly will the government do to produce a verifiable solution?

Keep in mind, we're on our way to Fall weather and cooler temperatures, and anything along any normal curve of seasonal temperature decline at this point can be said to be natural.

Note, too, that during COVID shutdowns, the absence of emissions and particulates in the atmosphere from shut down industries led to higher than normal surface temperatures (nothing up there to block the sun), so the obvious solution should include a ramping up of industry and more emissions, not less.
