It has been widely noted that many of our government leaders seem to like the air of crisis and the exertion of emergency power that the COVID pandemic has enabled. And there has been open support among the climatistas applying the kinds of strictures used to battle COVID to climate change as well. The superficiality of this parallel will be lost on lots of people—after all, how well are the lockdowns and mark-wearing mandates working?
Thus we are starting to hear calls for proto-President Biden to declare climate change to be a national emergency when he takes office:
Now, if Biden wants to declare the climate equivalent of martial law, he has just the team to do it with Long-(Faced)-John Kerry and former EPA capo Gina McCarthy, though Kerry’s doltery is seldom more obvious than when he talks about climate. Myron Ebell reminds us:
The fact is that Kerry knows less about climate science than a person of normal diligence could learn on the Internet in an hour. Now, it is fair to note that politicians have to talk about a lot of things that they know nothing about. But Kerry has specialized in climate for decades. . . Kerry not only doesn’t know anything about the basics of climate science; what he is sure he knows is wrong.

This is coming. They will do it. I’m glad. Choke the idiot Biden voters to death.
I never thought it would come to this, but this is going to be a real battle. May as well get on with it.
One of the most nauseating things I’ve seen in recent years is Joe Biden posing as a man of science.
Inhaling will be set to a limit of 10 a day and if you go over the Killing fields plastic bags will be used even though plastic will be banned
He has bizarre ideas of stopping Climate Change. Abort babies so fewer pollution. Kill the economy by locking it down so less pollution. Ban cars. Stop people from eating at restaurants so there's less pollution. His whole routine is centered around destroying peoples' lives; less people, less Climate Change (in his mind). He is a sick fool.
Ya, that won’t be happening. Not that I don’t believe the communists won’t try it, it’s just when you take away everything from people, they have nothing left to lose. This would be the equivalent of crossing the Rubicon or loading us into box cars.
What if he is just following orders?
Burning blue cities will produce a lot of carbon dioxide.
It's a good way to gauge the true cost, IMO. So many multi-billion dollar Solar pilot plants that never produce anything.
With the Kleptocrats in charge, I expect an exponential increase in Solyndra-style boondoggles. Energy won't be more abundant or cleaner, but it'll definitely be pricier.
If they can get away with seizing this much power for a bad strain of the flu, what can they get away with to, as they will put it, save the planet?
An executive order removing CO2 heating and air conditioning from the White House should be issued in sufficient time so Biden will not worry about the climate impact of his new home.
Someone’s heart is surely saddened by the needless suffering from the cold elected DC Democrats must be enduring.
“Not that I don’t believe the communists won’t try it...”
Let me see, you used three negatives which translates to saying you don’t believe they will try it. Why not?
If he tries this - which I think he will - resistance has got to come from the states.
I think they’ve used up their ‘emergency’ card.
Oh, no....Idiot Jeff Merkley is on board with this. Taking the abuses of power which the Oregon government has perpetrated under the guise of (unspecified) emergencies to the Federal level.
