A climate emergency lockdown just before the 2024 election would give all of the mechanisms for election fraud that were used in 2020 and 2022. I won’t be surprised if it happens.
Well, we have a heads-up to prevent it.
The president falsely said during an interview with the Weather Channel that
he had “practically speaking” declared a climate emergency. He, of course, hasn’t.......yet.
But should he do so, he could issue tyrannical edicts with absolute power and would be able to autocratically “deploy around 130 different new powers,” says Climate Depot’s Marc Morano.
Operating under emergency climate powers, a president could:
<><> halt “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
<><>halt all drilling immediately …
<><>marshal funding under the DPA
<><>be empowered to deploy clean energy –
<><> like rooftop solar installations on low-income housing.
I wouldn’t be surprised either, but I’d be more surprised if he didn’t wait until after he stole the next election, and then declare it was a mandate.
