The Pandemic Remade Every Corner of Society. Now It's the Climate's Turn

On her third day as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Marcia Fudge phoned the White House. She had taken over an agency with a role to play addressing a range of crises as the lack of affordable housing in U.S. cities has left hundreds of thousands homeless and millions more in financial straits. She connected with Joe Biden’s climate team. Fudge and Gina McCarthy, Biden’s national climate adviser, talked about addressing climate change and the affordable-­housing shortage at the same time. Three weeks later, the Administration announced plans to provide for more than 1 million resilient and energy-­efficient housing units. “People are actually, from every agency, knocking on our doors,” says McCarthy, “wondering how they can be part of what is essentially a hopeful future.”

From her perch in the West Wing, McCarthy has been charged by Biden with overseeing a dramatic shift in the way the U.S. pursues action on climate change. Instead of turning to a select few environment-­focused agencies to make climate policy, McCarthy and her office are working to infuse climate considerations into everything the Administration does. The task force she runs includes everyone from the Secretary of Defense, who is evaluating the climate threat to national security, to the Treasury Secretary, who is working to stem the risk that climate change poses to the financial system.

The real threat is from communist politicians and elitist corporate leaders.

Indeed. We've learned from the pandemic that the only thing required to deprive Americans of their liberty is the declaration of a "state of emergency." Hence, the next "emergency " will be the climate.

Oh No! It is now a Climate Emergency! Spring is here, the snow is melting or gone, not as cold at nights, change, change, change. Short-term memory and media don't recall t his happens every spring.

Hey, is Greta taking a row boat or flying in a fuel-guzzling jet to come and address congress? Why not any commonsense American instead? Better for the environment and more relevant to American than some brainwashed and spoiled European kid.

Leftists will never stop even when people are completely controlled. They will then turn to blood lust to satisfy their inner demands to control and murder. One needs to look no further than islam to see the progression of a blood lust cult.

The real tragedy is that so many phenomenally ungrateful, irretrievably ignorant American women and "men" really like being controlled. I don't understand why any formerly free American would like it ... but it's clear they do! OK by them but a problem arises when they demand everyone else like to be controlled as well.

There is simply no other option but to fight this ... by the written and spoken word ... for now.

And they are not even trying to hide that these are orchestrated crisis ploys.

It's working.

Pew Research has his approval at 59%. I don't believe it's that high, but clearly, many people in this country approve of what his administration is doing. Shocking and sickening.

What a joke! Weather is cyclic, we still are not as warm in the US as it was in the 1930s long before man made CO2 could have had any influence on the climate. And the rate of rise in Sea levels is not greater than it has been in the last several hundred years. Just ten thousand years ago the place where my wife and I live was under a couple thousand feet of ice.

The level of idiocy in this age of information continues to reach new highs.

***the next “emergency “ will be the climate. ***

It has been such since the COMING ICE AGE hoax of the 1970s. The COMING ICE AGE will be on us again in the near future when Glo-Bull warming hoax runs out of steam.

This is some more horseshit from the left. This clown is just spouting propaganda someone else told him to write. It’s odd that when Time magazine claimed we were heading into another ice age back in the ‘70s the cure was the same as now - more government. The one thing you can know for sure is that when you put enough government money into a computer model, you’ll get the answer government wants.

The only thing that’s genuine about this article is the outright dishonesty. Keep lying like this and you’ll be in Kamalas’ cabinet.
