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.
Huh, he was Obama’s chum for 8 years, and did absolutely nothing for the environment or the climate scam, and now he is bored, he remembered that the planet needs “saving” 😐
This is as boring as reading interviews in which every person and their dog is vegan and trying to be conscious about plastic and the planet 😐
He was a Senator for 36 years, and Vice President for 8, but blames Trump for all the problems in the US.
What is interesting is that Obama has not said anything supportive of Biden.
we should jail those who use fossil fuel too…
Especially those who use it profusely while claiming the rest of us should stop.
Someone should ask him, “Now that we know the danger of using fossil fiels, shouldn’t they be banned immediately? And, who would take a job in management of oil companies if they were at risk of prosecution?”
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.
But Neil, I thought Obama already did that
“this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal” – Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama
Can’t we leave Obama out of this? I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.

Rich Davis, that one was precious! One of the greatest comments on that remark came from Al Sharpton: “I shave and I shower everyday”. Oh gosh that was funny.
These people are strangely disturbed so that reason and judgement,desert them and monstrous accusations are made against those that have built their wonderful world.
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.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pelosi-jr-ukraine/
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.
I suppose sleepy Joe is walking from campaign stop to campaign stop He’s a senile old fool, but surely not a hypocrite. “Say it ain’t so Joe”
And for a few million $$ more you get to watch the lynchings.
…..D’OH !
Dear MOD, please delete my last post ! It is an insult to compare Homer to ” Creepy Joe “. Even Homer is not THAT stupid …… : )
The dumbest part about this is that “FF executives” only SELL the FF, us proud little Deplorables actually use it !
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?
“Has there actually been any deaths that leftists can attribute directly to ‘Climate Change’?”
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.”
Re-jail Hunter Biden?
How can he be in two jails at once?
Climate hyper logic is just broken.
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.
Welcome Janice. Happy new year 🙂
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🙂
No worries, he’ll just have any prosecuter investigating his son’s business fired.
Again.
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.
Biden is caught in a quid pro Joe. A double-edged scalpel.
Well now I know the guy is a complete idiot. Companies operate under the applicable laws at the time, you can’t gaol them without breaking any laws, regardless of what u think of the laws.
And this is a leading candidate for the next election?
You are expecting a Democrat to accept the US Constitution as it is written?
“No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”
Silly man. Democrats don’t care about that document.
John Galt, where are you when we need you?
who is John Galt? 😉
“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)
