White House could declare 'climate emergency' as soon as (today) Wednesday

somehow i doubt planting more trees which is a realistic and tangible science proven way to offset deadly climate changing carbon levels will be part of the plan.

much easier to destroy our energy, food, economy because after all, agriculture and my gas stove is the biggest threat to the climate

We learned it from watching you.

And what would you call the "border" now?

He said that there is a climate emergency but he didn't declare an emergency.

Wind-power leases are going to be expanded but with no mention of the West Coast. More like Gulf to NC.

And air-conditioning is going to be provided to low-income residents. Well, FEMA is emergency action.

Now it is possible for a person to die sitting in their summertime house. I have seen screen-tents set-up in backyards and under shade trees

The federal government is going to pay for people’s air conditioning? AC is a total luxury most of the world lives without it.

Thanks, I'm humbled.

As for Jones, I can't tell. Is he a prophet or a grifter profit?

I'm glad somebody said it. China at least realizes deforestation is the real problem, and has been on a massive replanting project to try to prevent desertification.

Interesting enough there's also evidence livestock grazing prevents desertification, and all the private ownership of land restricting the free movement of grazing herds along with humans killing off what used to be billions of free grazing animals roaming the planet's grasslands may be contributing to it.

So you see, increasing carbon emissions are the least of our problems... a smokescreen covering the real problem we face...desertification caused by deforestation and lack of grazing animals in semi-arid grassland areas. Those are two things the left could actually try to practically fix rather than silly authoritarian measures trying to ban lawn mowers or ICE vehicles.

The climate-emergency concept has traction with a large percentage of the US population......so it will influence energy-usage in the USA.

Coal usage will be largely phased-out........the million of tons of proven coal-reserves in the US
will sit there. Even clean-coal, nope, not good enough for the Greenies.
