Climate Retreat Documented in the New York Times
7 hours ago Guest Blogger
By Robert Bradley Jr.

“Democrats and environmentalists are shifting their approach to climate change…. It’s a rejection of the approach taken during the Biden administration, which treated climate change as an existential threat and tried to stop new drilling and pipelines.”

– Lisa Friedman and Brad Plumer, New York Times (below)

It was “all of the above” on the way up, and it is “all of the above” on the way down. Lisa Friedman and Brad Plumer’s “Democrats Once Vowed to Stop Oil and Gas. Now They’re Not So Sure” (New York Times, June 11, 2026) is worth revisiting to document the sea change that has occurred in the Democrat party away from climate alarmism and forced energy transformation.

“As the midterm elections approach, many leading Democrats are rethinking their approach to climate change,” the article begins.

Democrats and environmentalists are shifting their approach to climate change, as the economic fallout from war in the Middle East has reshuffled the politics of energy. With voters worried about spiking gas prices and inflation, some of the party’s leaders argue that they should stop trying to throttle oil and gas, which heat the planet when burned. It’s a rejection of the approach taken during the Biden administration, which treated climate change as an existential threat and tried to stop new drilling and pipelines.

Not to worry, DSA is doing their best to ensure the Democrats lose the Midterms in November!

DSA is to Democrats what Perot was to Bush the Elder.

Bull$h!t ... they are pretending to moderate, just in time for the midterms.

When they have the majority they'll steamroll us like they did during Obama and Biden.

They aren't interested in "bi-partisanship" when they have a majority or a super majority.

The G-damned Congressional Republicans need to get off their @$$es to codify things in LAWS and Constitutional Amendments.  Why do they keep wasting so much opportunity when there's a Republican in the White House and the GOP has a majority in both houses of Congress?

What's wrong with Congressional Republicans?  I've never seen such a pathetic and tragic collective waste of opportunities to act on America First agenda items.  WTF?

The dirty little secret is there are a lot of Massies in Congress who secretly hate Trump's guts.

How will this square up with the supposed socialist takeover of the Dems?
