The Dems' 'climate emergency'

 Jack Hellner:

As soon as Biden took office, he actively worked to destroy the fossil fuel industry by asking all the federal agencies to focus on climate change through the lens of Democrat policy, despite lacking empirical evidence that it was an "emergency."

The Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking to require all public companies to show how their policies affect climate change.  Not once has the SEC questioned the constant failed predictions of doom by the "experts," nor has anyone requested data proving that fossil fuel consumption causes temperatures to rise — because nobody cares.  From a June article discussing the proposed new rule:

The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a proposed new rule that, (if adopted) would require public companies to provide detailed reporting of their climate-related risks, emissions, and net-zero transition plans.

This SEC will use taxpayer money to enrich consultants, CPAs, and lawyers who write worthless, non-productive documents as they feign compliance.

When companies can't reduce their carbon footprint to zero and remain profitable, they simply pay a tax to purchase pieces of paper called carbon credits, or plant trees.  Then the SEC and other leftists will cheer as if their policy was doing something.

As federal agencies issue ineffective regulations as fast as they can, productivity has dropped at the fastest pace since 1948, and unit labor costs have soared, massively contributing to current inflation rates.

This agenda is being implemented not just nationally, but internationally as well.  The U.S. Treasury is obstructing financing for fossil fuel projects throughout the world, and big banks are caving to Democrat pressure to block loans to oil producers. 

As Biden's policies continue to contribute to the soaring price of energy, the Democrats resort to dishonest talking points that the high prices are Russia's fault — it couldn't be Democrat policies at work!  And the establishment media machine just repeats these talking points as if they were true — truly taking the "a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth" propaganda adage to heart. 

Additionally, the Democrats push for massive use of rare earth minerals to produce batteries for all the "electric" technology.  They don't care if the cost of acquisition is rampant pollution and human rights abuses, it's all a means to an end.  From a piece published in the Harvard International Review:

For every ton of rare earth produced, the mining process yields 13kg of dust, 9,600-12,000 cubic meters of waste gas, 75 cubic meters of wastewater, and one ton of radioactive residue.

But even on top of that, there isn't even an adequate supply of minerals to meet the agenda....

There is no climate emergency.  The climate change crowd has been serially wrong for decades.  The poles are still not ice-free and coastal cities are still not underwater.  The real problem is the control freak nature of their response to the perceived "climate change.'  They are doing great harm to the economy in the process.
