President Joe Biden will visit Somerset, Massachusetts on Wednesday, to deliver an ultimatum to Congress on climate change despite a major lack of support from voters. Biden says that if they do not vote to put his environmental agenda into action, then he will use his own powers to combat the issue.
With his climate plan facing setbacks from Republicans and moderate Democrats on Capitol Hill, the president plans to visit the Brayton Point power plant, reported NBC Boston. The plant is an old coal-powered facility that is now transitioning to offshore wind manufacturing. Biden will deliver remarks on "tackling the climate crisis and seizing the opportunity of a clean energy future to create jobs and lower costs for families," according to the White House.
Biden is expected to force federal funds toward communities facing high levels of heat, while taking executive action to boost domestic offshore wind production, an anonymous White House official told the Washington Post.
Some of the major setbacks on Biden's climate agenda come from within his own party, with Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia last week informing Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that he does not support the party's plan to allocate billions of dollars to fighting climate change.
"I said, 'Chuck until we see the July inflation figures… basically Federal Reserve rates, interest rates, then let's wait till that comes out so we know that we're going down a path that won't be inflammatory, to add more to inflation,' " Manchin said on the Talkline radio show.
Manchin isn't the only one who isn't feeling strongly about pushing forward federal funding to tackle the climate change issue. According to a New York Times poll, just one percent of Americans hold climate change as the most important issue facing the country. The poll, which was covered by Fox News, showed that even out of Democratic voters and the ages 18-30 demographic, only 3% say it's a top issue.
Biden has been facing some major problems as of late, with his own party criticizing him for not having a more forceful response to the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and with Americans in general financially hurting from the highest levels of inflation the country has seen in 40 years. Only one percent of young voters between the ages of 18 and 29 "strongly approve" of the president's work, and the overall approval rating of 36 percent has matched the record low. The push for a multi-billion-dollar climate agenda seems to be the least of the average citizen's worries.
While Biden is not expected to declare a national climate emergency during the address in Somerset, he is considering making the move in the near future.
"I would not plan an announcement this week on a national climate emergency. Again, everything is on the table. It's just not going to be this week on that decision," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday.

They always do what they accuse you of.......................
Jill gave it away the other day when she complained about Real Crisis getting in the way of their Fake Global Warming Agenda
It’s an impeachable offense, but neither house would vote for it.
I wish I could ask the following or similar question: mr. President, about this climate emergency, can you point to any location, such as former president Obamas nearby beachfront property that has flooded? Is the Arctic ice free this year or has it been since 2015 when former vice president Gore said it would? And representative AOC’s eight years left, what will we see as practical observations occurring during these eight years until the apparent end of life as we know it? We are three years into that, what is happened in the past three years to substantiate any reality to life ending in another eight?
FEDGOV is using the carrot/stick to move these states to solar/wind which is incredibly expensive and will not work
this will not end well
When Government gets more power during an emergency they declare, there will always be an emergency. Can I load up my grocery cart and just sail through the check-out without paying by saying “It’s an emergency.”? Maybe once but likely not at all. Same thing at the gas pump, the mortgage company or the utilities board.
Just wait until Americans learn that Brandon plans to increase their energy bills 10X and outlaw their gasoline cars. Then they will care about “the climate” — a lot.
Totalitarian government.
Not only are they unhinged for thinking they can control the climate, they are absolutely unhinged for believing they can do this without absolutely crushing the economy, driving businesses out of the USA, making heating and cooling your home unaffordable, and having massive unemployment we haven’t seen since the 1930s.
Old man yells at climate.
“...a [demented] POTUS who doesn’t know or care what this means for his future”
Far worse, he and the entire Dem apparatus don’t give a fig about Americans and their well-being.
I saw a clip of this guy and I had to wonder how people are fooled again by some guy with a German accent telling them he knows how to reorder the World. How many times does Europe have to learn that lesson?
Sheesh, he’s gone full leftist nuts. He’s become a instrument of his radical handlers.
the left are claiming that “Because Bush declared an emergency on the border”, (Not sure whatever became of the fact that he declared the emergency), that now biden gets to declare an emergency himself-
‘Absolutely NOTHING is going to happen on this earth unless the LORD of Heaven and Earth, JESUS CHRIST, allows satan to do it...’
I would say the sun has more to do with it than anything else...
There is not a single thing they won’t control if he does this.
He’s ALWAYS BEEN full leftist nuts....................
Treason! He is destroying this country to “aid” our enemies! We need to take this country back and panzy azz Republicans are spineless so it’s up to “we the people”.
