Biden: I’ve Declared a Climate Emergency ‘Practically Speaking’

CNN: ‘Biden incorrectly claims he has declared a national emergency on climate’– CNNWhile Biden has taken a series of significant legislative and executive steps to combat climate change, he has stopped short of declaring a national emergency, which would unlock sweeping new federal authorities and funds to combat the climate crisis. Climate activists have called on Biden since the earliest days of his presidency to declare a national emergency. … The president seemed close to declaring a climate emergency in the summer of 2022 after it appeared Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, had tanked the Inflation Reduction Act – Biden’s signature climate and health care bill. In a July 20, 2022, speech in Massachusetts, Biden strongly hinted that he could declare an emergency.

Politico: Biden says he has ‘practically’ declared a climate emergency. But he actually hasn’t…YET – ‘Would give him a host of new powers to combat climate change’– “We’ve already done that,” Biden said Wednesday when asked whether he was prepared to declare a national climate emergency during an interview on The Weather Channel. “We’ve conserved more land, we’ve moved into rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. We’ve got a $60 billion climate control facility.” When pressed about whether he has actually declared an emergency, Biden responded, “Practically speaking, yes.”

However, no such declaration has come from the White House. Experts say Biden could invoke the 1976 National Emergencies Act to give himself the power to order the manufacture of clean energy technology, deploy renewables on military bases, block crude oil exports or even suspend offshore drilling — though that would require compensation to the owners. Though the law limits emergency declarations to one year, it could be renewed annually to address the increasingly troubling impacts of climate change.

What it would mean for Biden to declare a national ‘climate emergency’ – ‘Triggers ability for him to deploy around 130 different powers’– U.S. presidents have declared 60 national emergencies since 1976, according to the think tank Demos. Historically, those have typically been for acute crises, such as specific natural disasters, rather than a long-term predicament like climate change. …

“If he declares a national emergency, it triggers the ability for him to deploy around 130 different powers,” Jean Su, energy justice program director and senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity, said.

Biden could stop “the export of crude oil…phase out all exports and imports of fossil fuels entirely…stop issuing permits for offshore oil and gas wells under already existing leases and halt all drilling immediately…marshaling funding under the DPA to deploy clean energy — for example, rooftop solar installations on low-income housing.”

While Michelle claims her children were conceived by IVF, there are accounts which suggest alternatives (as above).

Given that there are no actual birth records for the Obama children, these alternative scenarios seem plausible.

Maybe his handlers are planning on waiting until he is re-elected before formally declaring an emergency. At that point he would have to be impeached and removed from office, to be replaced by whomever the power brokers intend to replace Kamela with. So, we would still be stuck with the emergency declaration until the next election in 2008. A lot of damage can be done in four years!

 As with Trudeau’s assumption of Emergency Powers or Pelosi & Cheney’s January 6th Show, we should expect targeting of what government considers the only true terrorists – its political opponents.

“How can we solve the [insert name] Emergency if our enemies are allowed to spread the word that there’s not really an Emergency? That we’re just grabbing power? That we ourselves are not making sacrifices and that the sacrifices we are forcing on the masses have, at best, no effect on our declared Emergency?”

I don’t see how incandescent utility bulbs can be phased out.

Likely we’ll pay more for leds that need to be replaced frequently. But who knows…

That’s not what Devon Archer said. He testified that he had no knowledge of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden as it related to his son’s business dealings. He also stated…
“I have no basis to know if he altered policy to benefit his son.”
Yes Hunter used his fathers name, but hey the Trumps used their fathers position when he was president all those years ago too. And Trump himself feathered his own nest when he got foreign governments to stay in his own hotels at exorbitant prices. And he got the secret service at huge cost to stay at his places too. Now that is dodgy.

So, either Hunter & Joe are corrupt and in it together;

Or, Hunter is defrauding foreign businesses, officials, entities, by and through a business model that implies it can facilitate access to the govt of the USA (and as such in need of FARA oversight).

On paper (to date) record of greater than $20 million to Hunter & his family ….

The man that managed the money lines for Hunter, also managed money and did the taxes for Joe Biden; and knows that the only service provided for the $20 million in fees, was either:

a) perceived (fraudulent) access to Joe Biden, while still violating FARA, or
b) actual (corrupt) access to Joe Biden, while violating FARA.

The money manager co-mingled Hunter & Joe monies at times ….

Hunter money, at a minimum, paid Joe phone, utilities, and excessive rent payments.

The most recent charge is basically an accusation that Trump knew he was lying when he said that there were problems with the last presidential election because he had advisers that said the claims were false. (Let’s ignore for the moment that Trump had other advisers who supported the claim.) From that the AG concludes that these lies somehow interfered with an election that was already over.

And then there are the charges over documents that the Presidential Records Act gives Trump the right to have in his possession.

From the article: “Experts say Biden could invoke the 1976 National Emergencies Act to give himself the power to order the manufacture of clean energy technology, deploy renewables on military bases, block crude oil exports or even suspend offshore drilling — though that would require compensation to the owners. Though the law limits emergency declarations to one year, it could be renewed annually to address the increasingly troubling impacts of climate change.”

That sounds like grounds for impeachment to me.

While this might have been a sad moment for the two German entertainers it was a disaster for the 250+ people that were employed in the production, who instantly became jobless.

The many DC employees of the Biden executive are conscious of the fact that their livelihood depends on being puppeteers in Biden’s public appearances and reinforcing whatever ideas they are able to impress upon him. Of course once in a significant position in the DC power structure they are unlikely to disappear from it entirely but there are others, waiting in the pool of academia and business, to take their place. Maintaining the Biden charade, and extending it, is of utmost importance to thousands. If it involves curtailing the freedoms of America that’s a small inconvenience to pay off the mortgage of the home in Alexandria, VA. If you live there, belief in AGW is required.

What, if any, “climate control” has it produced and where are the scientific article(s) documenting such?
— A Web search does not reveal a US “climate control facility” . . . why has this facility been held in secrecy from the US public?

If Joe’s run for president is stopped by evidence of corruption and bribery, then this would be the opportunity for the Democrats to get rid of Kamala Harris, who is obviously not up to the job, even to Democrats.

If Joe were to retire from the presidency early for health reasons, this would open the door for a number of Democrat candidates to throw their hat in the ring, and any one of them, as bad as they are, would beat Kamala Harris for the nomination.

Will Joe retire to escape prosecution? That is the question. Of course, if he retires, the Republicans will let him off the hook, so there is an incentive for him to bow out if they have him nailed, dead to rights, on bribery charges. And it looks like they already do have him nailed. The Moscow mayor’s wife gave the Biden’s $3.5 million, and she stayed off the list of Russians who the U.S. sanctioned and restricted. She even had dinner with Joe and Hunter. There are pictures.

The leftwing media is trying to make the guy out as a rabid Republican. I don’t know what his affiliation is, but there was at least one report that said he not only threatened Biden, but Trump also.

The FBI went to his house and shot him dead. I haven’t heard if the man did anything to cause the FBI to fire. And the FBI is not giving out any information on the raid.

Do you notice how the federal government is getting more and more secretive? They won’t say anything, about anything, and they won’t release any information even when it is required by law that they do so.

When a regime wants to stop dissidents and opponents from having a platform to speak out against the regime, they stop bringing them in to stand trial and start issuing ‘shoot to kill’ orders. Russia has done it, the UK did it with IRA terrorists, perhaps the Biden regime has decided to do the same.

I heard something a little different yesterday. It was reported that Trump’s social media site, Truth Social, notified the FBI about this man. Apparently, he was posting alarming stuff on Truth Social, and that’s how he came to the attention of the FBI.

The report that he was threatening Trump, too, is probably not true.

I’ve been trying to keep up with this case. One thing I have noticed is that absolutely nothing has been released as to what actually happened when the FBI went to this guys house.

You may be willing to assume that the guy drew on the agents and forced them to shoot him, and that may well be what happened. But I’m not ready to make that assumption yet.

The guy said that he was going to take out his ghille suit and M24.
While it’s possible the army may have let him keep his ghille suit, but I would be surprised if they let him keep his M24 when he retired.

He could’ve bought a Remington 700 after retirement and most military style Ghillie suits can also be purchased commercially. I also don’t think this was the case either – his being in a wheelchair really doesn’t fit with the idea that he was a credible threat. Didn’t the FBI do a thorough background check before they killed him?

Notice how they aren’t interested in good paying jobs. They must be union jobs.
Considering how much the unions have invested in the DNC over the last 70 years or so, they are finally getting their payback. And of course much of the increased union dues will find it’s way into Democrat coffers, and Biden family pockets.

Yes, and Joe gave the unions $36 billion out of all the funds that have been allocated since he took office. The union pension funds in Big Blue States like New York were about to go bankrupt, but not any more. Ole Joe came to the rescue with Big Bucks. Your Bucks. The Republicans never said a word about it.

Even so, some unions, like the auto workers, are chaffing over Bidens climate change policies.

I find the premise here unlikely.
I went and read summaries of the National Emergencies Act (NEA) of 1976 (50USC1601-1651). The core is what comprises a National Emergency. Both the House and Senate summaries of the NEA at time of passage say it has to be an ‘unexpected crisis’.
For example Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border after images of thousand of illegal aliens surging through Mexico with The Mexican police overwhelmed. Unexpected and crisis. He used it to get funding for the wall.

Climate change is neither unexpected (IPCC 40 years) nor a crisis. Biden saying so would not withstand court challenge. Which is why he hasn’t officially done so despite all the requests Morano cites.

Everybody calm down.

Rud,

Your first mistake is in thinking that Joe Biden and his Administration are bound to follow the rule of law.

Your second mistake is in thinking that Joe Biden worries about court challenges to his EOs . . . look at how DOJ gave him a slap-down on his original EO “pausing” drilling on Federal lands, only for him to come right back and try to do the same thing again.

References:

“Judge Terry A. Doughty of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana granted a preliminary injunction Tuesday against the administration, saying that the power to pause offshore oil and gas leases ‘lies solely with Congress’ because it was the legislative branch that originally made federal lands and waters available for leasing.”

Both your points are valid in the short run. IMO Not in the long run with the current SCOTUS. Which is why Schumer and AOC want to pack it. FDR tried and failed for his New Deal excesses. I think if Biden tried, it would fail in the House. That said, 2024 is a very BIG election year.

The time is shortening for the PTB (Deep State) to make a response. They are ready for a 2024 election, which will be handled the same way as the 2020 election (as no one has made any changes in the way mail-in votes are certified).

So when another “landslide” victory happens for a candidate with the lowest ratings in history, the questionable results will be met with martial law enforcing your worst nightmares. Because we can and will.

Anything necessary to prevent a different outcome.

Glad to see that you put quotes around the word landslide.

In the 2020 Presidential election, Biden won 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232 electoral votes, or a ratio of 57%:43%. Not many people would define a swing of 7% of the total electoral votes available as a “landslide”.

You would think electricity at a wholesale price of $4000/MWh, as it is in ERCOT right now, would wake some folks up, but I am not hopeful. This is the fourth time in 5 days that the prices have spiked over $1000/MWh, which today looks cheap.

$4000/MWh is the marginal (real-time) price, IOW, the last MWh produced that wasn’t contracted for in the day-ahead market. Someone correct me if I’m in error.

ERCOT Day-Ahead Market – https://www.ercot.com/mktinfo/dam

“The Day-Ahead Market (DAM) … matches willing buyers and sellers, subject to network security and other constraints… . It provides a platform to hedge congestion costs in the day-ahead of the Operating Day, and instruments to mitigate the risk of price volatility in Real-Time.”

Also – Market Prices – “ERCOT provides both Day-Ahead Market (DAM) prices on a daily basis and Real-Time Market (RTM) prices on an interval basis.”

It is my understanding also that the $4000/MWh is a spot market price, and not a price contracted for ahead of time. But it is indeed a real price of real power. And somebody will be paying it.

I would also mention that nearly 3/4ths of the demand is being met by fossil fuels–natural gas, coal and lignite, about 5% by nuclear and under 1/4th by wind and solar. If they plan to be net-zero or anything close to it, they are not moving in the right direction. Out of a nameplate capacity of 38,000 MW of wind, they are getting less than 10,000 MW. Solar isn’t bad compared to nameplate, but is only good for 8 hours on the best of days.

re: “It is my understanding also that the $4000/MWh is a spot market price, and not a price contracted for ahead of time.”

That’s right. In a day-ahead market, you bid and commit to a per-determined price for the next day. If you fall short of what you need on the day of use, you pay the spot market price ON the day of use. That price also varies across the system, because, you still have to ‘haul’ that energy to where its needed, and that affects price, so the map on the ERCOT website is termed “Real-Time Locational Price” map. Moving energy across already loaded transmission lines may or may not be possible and comes with that ‘locational price’. Additions, corrections welcome.

If Joe crime family, traitor Biden were to do so, the governors of Texas, Florida and other states should simultaneously declare a climate policy emergency. As a first action, I suggest that those governors terminate without benefits all university researchers and faculty whose complicity has led to this policy emergency. In Texas, the first of a long list to go would be Andrew Dessler and Katherine Hayhoe. Under the governors’ emergency powers, they should declare a news blackout of all mainstream media, and publish the names and addresses of all prominent media climate hacks.

To ensure reliable power to the people during the crisis, they should require that all renewable generation assets operate continuously at 80+ percent capacity factors or face fines, elimination of all forms of subsidy and potential shutdown.

To help the governor to be prepared to act swiftly, I believe I will begin compiling “the list.”

Though the law limits emergency declarations to one year, it could be renewed annually to address the increasingly troubling impacts of climate change.
