Yellen: Inflation Reduction Act’s Investments Are ‘Mainly Geared Toward the Longer-Term Issues around Climate
Breitbart ^ | 09/28/2022 | IAN HANCHETT

During an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the investments in the Inflation Reduction Act “are mainly geared toward the longer-term issues around climate change,” but it will “significantly lower the cost of drugs and health insurance.”

Co-host Ailsa Chang asked, “I do take your point that the new Inflation Reduction Act does a lot to promote green energy, promotes cleaner cars, tries to address healthcare needs. But it doesn’t do much to fix inflation in the short term, which is really the Federal Reserve’s job. Are you concerned that this will set people up for disappointment?”

They have to name the bill fraudulently because they know very few people believe the climate change garbage. Our government is filled with con-men.

You can bet your bippy that when the Democrats name a bill it has no relation to what is actually in it.

She may or may not think we are stupid but that's not what's going on here.

She has permitted herself to be indoctrinated by the politics of the so-called "climate" problem.

When politics is injected into any issue, that issue gets confused, muddled, and impossible to empirically examine.

According, when politics was injected into the "climate emergency," the possibility of any rational and/or trustworthy investigation went out the window.

We don't know if it is a man-made problem, if carbon emissions even contribute to it (if it even exists), or if so-called "clean air" efforts on the part of the developed world will have any effect given the lack of response by China and India.

What we do know is that solutions being pushed so far will have a devastating effect on the economies of the developed countries.

“Longer term investment” here means “a cost that will never benefit anyone except grifters”.

The Inflation Reduction Act is really nothing more that a raid on the U.S. Treasury for the envirowackos.

[[We don’t know if it is a man-made problem, if carbon emissions even contribute to it]]

It is known that long before the industrial a ge, co2 was over double what it is today after many hundreds of years of industry- we also know from ice core samples, that co2 rises 800 years or more after temperatures rise, so that fact right there proves that co2 is not a driver of temperature rising.

Where did all the co2 come from preindustrial age? It was e timely 100% natural. Climate alarmists love to say thst the recent rise is “entirely from man”, yet studies show thst before man’s cr3ation of co2, co2 was over double what it is today. Many factors contribute to the I crease in atmospheric co2, and nature is the biggest contributor, as we’ve seen in the past. To say thst today’s s,ight I crease is man’s fault in ores thst nature is fully capable of increasing g it far greater.

And besides, co2 does not drive temperatures temperatures drive the rise in co2- 100’s of years later
