Further dashing hopes that he’d govern as any kind of moderate, President Biden on Wednesday announced plans for what amounts to the Green New Deal by another name, at a cost of roughly $2 trillion and millions of jobs.
... Biden’s Day One canceling of the Keystone XL pipeline put thousands out of work immediately; longer-term, it aborted some 11,000 jobs, mostly for union workers.
Also in his first day, the new prez ordered a 60-day suspension of new drilling permits for US lands and water, supposedly to allow for review of the impact. But on Wednesday he made much of that ban permanent, so plainly the science doesn’t really matter.
... In the absence of Keystone, Canada will still export its oil — transporting it by less-environmentally friendly rail...
Economics is out the window, too. The American Petroleum Institute estimates the drilling ban will cost the US economy $700 billion and kill nearly a million jobs by the end of next year.
The special envoy on climate issues, John Kerry, sniffs at the costs of “what needs to be done” — even as he admits that taking the US to zero carbon emissions tomorrow (rather than by 2050 as the president vows) wouldn’t remotely stop climate change.
Not that climate change is the Armageddon threat that Biden & Co. pretend: If current trends continue, the harm from global warming etc. would only slice a fraction off global economic growth through century’s end.
Paris’ fine print requires exponentially rising energy costs and lunatic subsidies; economists estimate it will cost the US millions of jobs over the next decade.
Yet because it demands little of China etc., the deal will only decrease average global temperatures by 0.09 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. Lots of Western pain; trivial world gain.

Yup
Every Red State should nullify this.
All while importing 10 million Indian Green Card scumbags.
Global Warming PING!
I wish it would warm some.
I’m ready for a longer growing season and lower hearing bills..
Revelation describes a era of unrivaled horror and hardship and the famine and pestilence described therein is something the environmentalist are laboring to bring about.
The Indians aren’t really the scumbags, those importing them are.
The Indians aren’t really the scumbags, those importing them are.

It’s other Indians importing them. 99% of all advertised positions go through Indian recruiters with exclusive contracts for most companies. S as bc ghru only hire fellow Indians. So yeah, the racist scumbag label stands.
Americans don’t have a chance against the Indian IT mafia
They believe the water is rising - so even if you live on the water and can see it's NOT rising - you'll be jailed for saying it.
Soon you'll be jailed for thinking it.
Of course John Kerry and his band of white liberal elites have mansions on the Ocean front - and they know the water's not rising... but if YOU say it YOU will be punished. FBI thugs will enforce the new rules... YOU are not allowed to disagree with white liberal 'elites'... Hey FBI thugs - they'll come for YOU and your families next...
