WASHINGTON - The Biden administration today is issuing an interim estimate of the “social cost of carbon,” the government’s measure of the benefits of curbing emissions of carbon and other climate changing air pollutants.
This important interim measure sets aside a grievous Trump administration move to essentially deny that climate change causes any economic harm. In addition, President Biden’s January 20th Executive Order instructed agencies to make further improvements by the end of the year assessing the estimated economic toll from climate disruption.
The following statement is from Starla Yeh, director of the policy analysis group in the Climate & Clean Energy program at NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council):
“This action replaces an egregious act of climate denial by the former administration. This interim estimate is an appropriate first step in providing improved tools to account for the massive economic damage wrought by climate change—including from droughts, wildfires, rising ocean levels and the ever-growing extreme weather events that destroy lives and property.
“The Biden administration has committed to more work to update the science and develop a more complete estimate of the climate harm our children and grandchildren face, along with the billions of people who live in the rest of the world. We urgently need that more effective tool measuring the cost of climate disruption, so we can protect our children and communities of color here and abroad, from climate catastrophe.”
Has Starla Yeh ever met The Science?
More money wasted down the government toilet.
*sigh*
Science? Biden administration? Contradiction in terms.
Starla Yeh. Gee that’s a nice Anglo Saxon name.
“The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet.”
“I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don’t think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, ‘tomorrow could be too late, let’s do now what we need to do’.”
“I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.”

Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto

"The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don't do something about it," she [Jane Fonda] says.
___________________________________________________
November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:
"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.
"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."
Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."
NRDC.Another commie watermelon subversive front organization.
“Starla Yeh focuses primarily on climate policy, especially the formulation of standards for carbon pollution from power plants. She previously worked at NRDC’s Center for Market Innovation, where she modeled the effects of emission standards on the nation’s coal-generation fleet and explored strategies making our energy systems more efficient. Prior to joining NRDC, she worked in the Insurance-Linked Securities group at Swiss Re Capital Markets. Yeh is a graduate of DePauw University and Vermont Law School. She is based in New York City.”
She is very experienced in living some place that doesn’t grow any of its own food, produce any of its energy diet, and is still a hotbed of COVID. She sounds very dangerous.
A bit after 10AM and already 81F here in Redneck.
Lord, give me the strength to bear these conditions.
Biden isn’t updating anything. He’s a caricature.
This is merely the beginning of the next catastrophic catastrophe intended to replace the wuhan flu, needed to maintain liberal dictatorial mandates.
We urgently need that more effective tool **(Taxes&Fines)** measuring the cost of climate disruption,
“The science of extreme weather event attribution is still young”
THAT certainly doesn’t sound like anything more than another lame Social Science.
“Interim” = goal posts subject to constant change.
The only environmental prediction over that last 30 that was even close to accurate is: things change.
DJTrump never said there was no climate change. He said that mankind was not the culprit because of any CO2 it might have caused to be released.
OTOHand, the climate activists have latched onto CO2 since that allows them to (falsely) acuse Western civilization.
“Biden isn’t updating anything. He’s a caricature.”
Perfect and succinctly defined !
We need to make “Caricature Biden” an every day name !
