Joe Biden releases $5T climate change plan that goes 'well beyond' Obama agenda
Washington Examiner ^ | 06-04-19 | Josh Siegel

Joe Biden released a $5 trillion “clean energy revolution” plan Tuesday to combat climate change, which he said is the greatest challenge facing the United States and world.

Biden responded aggressively to critics and rival Democratic candidates who predicted he’d be too moderate on climate change, given his pro-union background, with a proposal that he says goes “well beyond” the agenda he undertook in the Obama administration.

He vowed to re-enter the Paris Climate Accord that the Obama administration negotiated, and President Trump rejected, on the first day of his presidency, and to commit the U.S. to an even more ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction goal.

Biden vows $5 trillion deal to re-enter the Paris Climate Accord that the Obama admin negotiated
and Pres Trump rejected on the first day of his presidency....

Barack Obama transfers $500m to Green Climate Fund to protect Paris deal last days in office;
second $500M withdrawn from State Dept used executive powers; bypassed congressional support.

Michael Slezak / Tue 17 Jan 2017 / Last modified on Wed 14 Feb 2018

Barack Obama has transferred a second $500m installment from the State Dept to the Green Climate Fund just three days before he leaves office. Photograph: Evan Vucci/AP Barack Obama has heeded calls to help secure the future of the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m instalment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office.

The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming “well below” 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table. The US committed to transferring $3bn to the fund. The new instalment leaves $2bn owing, with the incoming president, Donald Trump, expected to cease any further payments.

=====================================

Wonder if the $500M made a short cut thru a numbered account in a French Polynesian bank?

Proving he would be an idiot president. Besides, I want someone to check his computers etc for child porn, and I want some moms and dads to come forward cuz they had to slap his hands off their daughters. (I think it was Jeff Sessions who did that on one of the videos.). Watch the videos....he shows all the signs........and he should not be able to “smile” his way out of it and claim he “got permission”.....!!!!! With what he’s brazenly getting away with publically, I fear what he’s doing in private!!!

Oh really? So the fact that most major American cities have become third world s**tholes full of drug-addled hobos, destitute illegal aliens, massive piles of trash and decomposition everywhere you turn - scenes out of the Living Dead - that isn’t a great challenge? The rot is everywhere you turn in those places that the Leftists control...and yet it’s climate change...their way of saying “Look, a squirrel!”

“I don’t think she thinks “trillion” is a number. I think she thinks it’s a state of mind”

AOC doesn’t think in these terms. She has stated that costs and debt are not important. We just print more money.

Yup. I was trying to make a joke about how stupid she is, but as you point out, she is far more stupid than any joke could depict her to be.

It’s the reason I never read satire posts anymore. Reality from the RATS is much, much worse than any satire could portray them to be.

So far Biden has said that his top priority will be LBGT rights and Climate Change. Where on the list of priorities of the average person are his two priorities?

Ad usual these “plans” rely on technology that doesn’t exist.

She is extremely misguided, naive and comes across as stupid. However I am not convinced she actually is stupid. Within one week in Congress she was setting the agenda for the Democrat Party. She has actually handled herself much better than I would have expected. I think she will be around for a while - whether in Congress or outside - to wreak havoc on this nation.

They predicted it would be warmer in July and August than January and February.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
— H.L. Mencken

Politicians are the same all over: they promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
— Nikita Khrushchev (1960)

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
— H. L. Mencken

“Every politician should live next door to a pimp, so he can have someone to look up to.”

My question for Sleepy Joe is, since water vapor makes up as much as 85% of all greenhouse gases, what is his plan going to do to get water vapor out of the atmosphere?

Wait, I thought he just said gay rights was his highest priority a few days ago.
