Joe Biden Climate Threat: Jail Fossil Fuel Executives (like Hunter Biden?)

Democrat Presidential wannabe Joe Biden.

Guest essay by Eric Worrall

h/t Breitbart; Joe Biden has tried to catch up with the Democrat cool kids, by demanding fossil fuel executives should be held accountable for the climate harm they have done.

Joe Biden: ‘We’re All Dead’ if We Don’t Stop Using Fossil Fuels

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed during a Sunday campaign event that “we’re all dead” if fossil fuels continue to be used as one of the world’s primary energy sources.

Earlier in the event, Biden vowed as president to hold energy giants liable for global warming and made a pledge to even jail executives.

Video of Biden’s statement;

I’ve got to say for once Joe Biden has shown some real balls.

The threat to jail fossil fuel executives presumably includes current or former executives like his son Hunter Biden (Burisma) and Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi (Viscoil), and who knows how many other children of prominent Democrats who hold or have held lucrative fossil fuel directorships in the Ukraine and elsewhere.

It takes a courageous politician to threaten jail time for his own kin, and the children of some of his most important political allies.

If things are that bad that jail is required then lets stop using fossil fuels in all countries right now. If it’s a real emergency then every second counts? Any idea what will happen next Mr Biden? What comes to mind were the two self induced famines during the Russian and Chinese Revolutions and of course Pol Pot when all the educated (in the old fashioned sense) were imprisoned and/or murdered. At some point we will come out of this self inflicted hysteria and then it will be interesting to see who will apologise.

No, it was based in mining and oil/gas. That was the springboard he used to become an enviro-crusader, his intimate knowledge of oil, coal and gas. The fact he lies endlessly without end concerning these issues makes him the perfect Democrat candidate. If he does run it will not be as a Republican, he merrily burned those bridges long ago.

Steyer made his billions through his hedge fund trading coal, oil, manufacturing and shipping funds and shares.

Of course,wikipedia will have all the latest information about Steyer’s failed attempts to purchase legislators, elections and force through legislation contrary to the USA Constitution, Bill of Rights and the rest of the amendments.

Quid Pro Joe, the gift that keeps on giving…

Former Vice President Joe Biden suggested Monday that displaced coal miners should learn to code.

“Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well,” Biden said at a New Hampshire event Monday. He added later: “Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!”

https://dailycaller.com/2019/12/30/joe-biden-coal-miners-learn-to-code/

I think Non Sequitur Joe figured out how to out-stupid Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” insult.

I wonder how Millennials would react to the converse of that logic:

And here they thought their jobs were safe from illegal aliens — now they have to compete against displaced coal miners!

Pops,

Joe does not need to learn how to code, with all those coding miners around.
Last I read world coal consumption increased in 2018 and 2019.

Also Obama advised Biden not to run for President, likely because he is somewhat hazy in the attic, which is full of cobwebs of the past.

Biden was stupid to allow his son Hunter to take a lucrative, no-show board job, with a corrupt natural gas company in Ukraine in 2014, at about $50,000 per month for 5 years.

No wonder Ukraine needs US foreign aid to make the pay offs to the likes of Hunter.

Absolutely clueless about ‘programming’.

Employment of computer programmers is projected to decline 7 percent from 2018 to 2028. Computer programming can be done from anywhere in the world, so companies sometimes hire programmers in countries where wages are lower. link

The jobs that are in demand are those that have knowledge and skills that go well beyond writing code. The best predictor of success for that kind of training is math ability. Different jurisdictions have different versions of the highest high school math courses you can get. If you haven’t passed those courses, you’re not likely to succeed in the software industry.

Liberals think anyone can be trained to do anything. No. IQ matters. link

The interesting part of this is not where coal miners fall on the IQ spectrum.
It is where Joe Malarkey falls on the spectrum based on his statements about training for economic skills. Based on his statements his cognitive capacity is not sufficient for him to be dog catcher. He would be at a disadvantage to the mean IQ of his quarry.

And how much economic value Hunter Biden provides for a business based on his productivity?

As I said to one of our programmers (from an embedded background)
“No. This is NOT for embedded stuff, it’s for a PC. Start again, this time assume:
1) user is completely clueless and will unwittingly try to do things you never thought anyone would be dumb enough to try;
2) user is an evil genius and will deliberately try to break your code and/or make it do things it was never designed to do.
Therefore, your assumption should be that anything the user inputs or attempts to do is wrong until you can prove it correct – the normal embedded style of ‘quick sanity check, otherwise assume we know what we are doing’ is way too dangerous for a desktop environment!”

They operate machinery currently so it would make more sense to train them to operate machinery in construction, shipping, lumber processing, or mining other materials.
Or better yet, allow them to continue to provide a valuable product that people are willing to pay for in order to provide electricity to a public that demands it!!

He might as well say they can be trained to be doctors, lawyers, or fashion models. It is just not practical.

Its hard to think given his performance so far that he ever entertained hopes of being more than merely one of the field ?

Given that he seems to be still the front runner, albeit very early in the event, and looking at his challengers, it may be worth a wager that the eventual candidate will be a last minute blow in that has not taken part in the Clown Contest.

So, do the primaries have any binding effect on the DNC ? Would it be possible for them to inject a candidate at their convention who has not taken part in any of the primaries ?

“>>> by demanding fossil fuel executives should be held accountable for the climate harm they have done. <<<"

What "climate harm?" There isn't any. World crops are through the roof. Severe weather events are no more frequent or intense than in the past. The sea level rise rate remains unchanged for well over a century. Plagues and starvation have been largely eliminated. People travel and communicate as never before. Our lives are better than ever before. Where is "harm" in any of that? All I can see are clear benefits to humanity and the natural world at practically no cost.

Government’s average tax on a gallon of gas is about 18% by far the biggest profiteers in the fossil fuel industry. Are we just going after the oil and coal executives, what about the landowners who are getting paid for their mineral rights ( Government being the largest) , the neighborhood gas station owners who makes a profit off our addiction , what about the auto manufactures who hooked us on gas in the first place, The Democrats thinking will deliver us into a circular firing squad if they get their way. If I have to vote Republican to drive to work and eat meat in a heat home, that is what I will do.
It would seem that government has more to answer for when it comes to responsibility than any one CEO.
Every thing will be okay once they have demonized those who make modern life work so well. They will find the right level of taxation to absolve us of our sinfully addition to demon CO2. And just like that they will declare victory and the seas will begin to recede.

This Snopes article argues against a Ukraine connection but has some juicy details on what appears to be a perpetual motion machine which Nancy Pelosi was helping her son promote.

Thinking that solar and wind can power a modern economy shouldn’t have any problems believing in perpetual motion.

Well, I don’t put much stock in what snopes has to say on anything with a political angle.

That said, only one poster mentioned the “Ukraine connection”, whereas the article and all the other posters merely pointed to Pelosi’s son’s being part of a fossil fuel company (Viscoil, which the snopes “factcheck” doesn’t deny) thus making him eligible for “jailing” per Biden’s remarks.

I don’t put much stock in Snopes either. I had three email addresses blocked by them because I was pointing out logical errors in what they were saying in the following:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/charlotte-hospitality/

The reason I linked the article is because they confirmed that Nancy Pelosi was apparently also using her influence to benefit her son. And because their article showed that the “magic” crystals cheap energy project her son was working on was so laughably ridiculous.

We are all dead even if we stopped using fossil fuels tomorrow. Probably a bit sooner with a lot more pain and chaos if we stop. There is no way to avoid the inevitable. So it is critical to use the time available in the best way possible – create and construct rather than destroy, care rather than ignore, learn rather than forget, give rather than take.

We are missing the important Democrat Assumption,the law only applies to non Democrats.
This is obvious coming from Joe who presided over the weaponizing of multiple government agencies against citizens who disagreed with the “narrative”.
Projection is the key.
Whatever we are being accused of,by our progressive comrades, is usually the projectors fondest dreams.
Power mad incompetence comes to mind, but that is only if one is looking for statemanship and the good of the country.
If you look for shallow self interest and looting the public purse, then most of our current political “Leadership” show great skills.

Has there actually been any deaths that leftists can attribute directly to ‘Climate Change’?

It was the greens and leftist who shut down fire trails in our National Parks. It was the greens and leftist who reduced backburning and fire reduction schemes for ‘environmental reasons’.

The fires that we are experiencing here in Australia now are largely due the the decisions that greens and leftist made in regards to fire reduction.

We have lost lives to these fires. Families are starting the new year mourning the loss of loved ones. Families are starting the new year homeless, their homes being destroyed in the fires.

Who is going to jail for this?

Depends on your definition. To the Left, it means weather, so yes.

The left wing has created their very own electronic bubble of fake news which creates and amplifies their fake facts and childish dead on arrival, care bear plans.

The age of stupidity is the unintentional consequence of the left wing’s taking over the electronic media, the dumbing down of the news, and fake science/engineering.

Democrats do not understand that job training will not repair an economy (does not create jobs) that has been destroyed by a new green deal.

The left wing has become emotion children who believe their own propaganda and are clueless about what happens when/if a country shuts down their economy.

It gets better or worse depending on your prospective and which party wins the next election.

Joe outlines the Democrats green plan which is to destroy our economy, sacrificing hundreds of thousands of blue-collar jobs and white-collar jobs while wasting money trying to reduce CO emissions.

The former vice president’s comments come only weeks after he pledged at the sixth Democrat primary debate to “sacrifice” economic growth and potentially “displace thousands or hundreds of thousands of blue-collar workers” in the interests of a “greener economy.”

Thank you, Eric Worrall, for yet another worthwhile contribution.

And thank you, especially, (you and the others above who also did this) for using the correct term, “Democrat.” Sometimes due to intentional deception, sometimes due to unintentional ignorance, the use of “democratic” to describe Biden, et al. is laughable at best.

“Democratic” is just about the last thing that party is.

My father worked in oil refineries for almost 50 years. Late in his career he was starting to get the question “how could you?” He would always reply in a calm voice, “stop buying it and I’ll stop making it, I promise you”. I learned my respect for the environment and love of nature from a man that is now being vilified for his participation in bringing natural resources to market in the safest, most efficient way he knew how.

PROBLEM: The construction and operation of all jails to date have been utterly dependent on fossil fuels.

To benefit from this construction and operation, therefore, by jailing those who ultimately enabled these things is a bit off, don’t you think?

Such contradictions indicate an underlying problem in “logic”, and those promoting such “logic” are gross failures at perceiving their problem.

Biden’s pronouncements, therefore, seem like unprecedented stupid utterances coming from a potential leader of a nation.

I cannot see any rational person voting for him, because of these statements alone. Such statements seem extreme even for those who are seriously wedded to the belief in human-caused climate change.

Nobody thinking like this should be allowed within a thousand miles of the White House. Special climate dogs should be trained to help protect the premises from such destructive beliefs. I’m thinking Caucasian mountain dogs would be good candidates.

Joe Biden Climate Threat: Jail Fossil Fuel Executives (like Hunter Biden?)
Hunter Biden is not a Fossil Fuel Executive, he is the inept, drug addled son of a corrupt politician that was given a high paying position on a corporate board paying a lot of money, for political favors rendered. Still belongs in prison, but daddy does too.

“PROBLEM: The construction and operation of all jails to date have been utterly dependent on fossil fuels”

Doesn’t pouring lots of concrete generate vast amounts of CO2 as well??
I guess that pales into insignificance when you work out they get free board and lodging, which undoubtedly entails feeding the inmates with vast numbers of hamburgers produced by farting cows…

Sounds like a great idea… free meals on wheels for retired oil execs.
All we need now is the guys on death row to come and serve them as part of their penance.
I doubt any of the inmates are Vegans.

Which reminds me….Carlos Ghosn (an undoubted climate criminal), was smuggled out of Japan in a double bass case, I hope they don’t figure out playing music to the inmates is a good wheeze.

Biden may be onto something. There needs to be laws written to hold climate alarmist criminally liable for the millions & billions of lives that will be lost when reduced or eliminated access to energy results in deaths. There needs to be legal consequences for failed predictions. The lost lives & criminal cost can easily be calculated by linear extrapolation of actual climate to the alarmist predictions. Just like how it is calculated how many people die from air or water pollution based on accepted minimum exposure limits. (LD50’s)
