Energy industry fears Biden to declare climate emergency, seize powers like COVID pandemic
Just the News ^ | 7/30/23 | Addison Smith

President Joe Biden appears to be facing increasing demands to declare a climate emergency, like the one declared for the COVID-19 pandemic that had a devastating impact on the country, warns a top advocate for the U.S. oil and gas industry.

"They're leaning to that direction," U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart recently told Just the News. "If you grant the president's emergency powers to declare a climate emergency, it's just like COVID.”

Stewart also said such a declaration would give the president “vast and unchecked authority to shut down everything from communications to infrastructure."

He said infrastructure would include water and electricity, and that Biden also could freeze assets under such a declaration.

“how do we address our grievances?”

No new houses, which are mainly built by invaders.

No stock or mutual fund purchases, which make our masters richer. Without a strong stock market, the leftist strongholds of New York and California would financially collapse.

No recreational travel. This is easily avoided for years.

No unnecessary meals out. They are easily avoided for years.

Still money speaks the loudest.

They can’t declare a “climate emergency”. That is ridiculous. Who would comply?

You know what? At that time, the guns come out.

With the DOJ, FBI, CIA, ALL BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY, and the rest of the Representative and administrative branches of the government compromised, how do we address our grievances?

Same way you eat an elephant. One bite at a time.

Companies need to find out who these people are that are lobbying for this and disconnect the electric power to their houses in the name of saving the planet.

Just going to add: WEAPONS CHECK TIME.

Make sure they're cleaned, lubricated properly and all actions are buttery smooth.

Just finished mine today. Every time stuff like this gets posted it's a reminder to me to check my weapons, make sure they're properly maintained, buttery smooth, and I count my ammo to make sure I have enough.

Ok, who are we kidding? There's NEVER enough ammo. I'll be buying more this week.

Hey bro, did I tell you about my new role at the bank? I was gonna retire and I got an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm really f'n excited about this too.

Start my new role on Tuesday. You should see the smile on my face as I typed that, LOL!

No one in DC cares that China just dropped out of the UN climate agreements. And did this when idiot John Kerry was in China. China and India courld care less about how much CO2 they send into the atmosphere.

Because global warming fear, hysteria and paranoia is a first world problem.

“It’s hardly the first time ever. But it is very very very disturbing that a witness needs protection from the government, and not a drug cartel or mafia don. Perhaps Lee Harvey Oswald was a victim of the government. A whole bunch of Friends of Bill and Hill met similar fates, the most recent being Jeff Epstein.”


Speaking of unexpected deaths, you have to wonder what the Obama chef’s last thoughts were as he was held underwater to drown. Was the money and prestige worth it? I also wonder what he saw or overheard to have them decide he was a risk they couldn’t just leave unresolved. For I certainly don’t believe the official story of an accidental drowning.

By my count, nations that put up 28% of the CO2 care about CO2 and global warming. This is the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and various European nations. The other 72% don’t give a damn how they generate electricity, heat their buildings, fuel their automobiles. They do it the best and least expensive way.

So how can the 28% stop global warming when the 72% burn fossil fuels with abandon?

(of course global warming is a money grubbing scam anyways)

<>There is nothing in the Constitution where the executive has been given this sort of power.<>

Quite right, but here it is:

"During the period of a national emergency, of any special or extraordinary power, the President is authorized to declare such national emergency. Such proclamation shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register."

"Any national emergency declared by the President in accordance with this title shall terminate if— (1) Congress terminates the emergency by concurrent resolution ; or (2) the President issues a proclamation terminating the emergency."

National Emergencies Act of 1976.
