As the U.S. is facing record high gas prices, climate czar John Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate, is pushing to prolong the crisis in order to permanently transform the economy and energy throughout the nation.
Named the “No Taxpayer Funding For Climate Zealots Advancing Radical Schemes Act” or the “No Taxpayer Funding For CZARS Act,” eight Republicans are calling on legislation to ban funding of Kerry’s climate role, including salary, administrative and travel expenses.
The proposed bill says that “Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be used for the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, including for salary, administrative, and travel expenses of the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and for any other activity of the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.”
In a statement, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) blasted the climate czar for his “disastrous energy policies peddled by hysterical fools like John Kerry,” adding “the Biden administration’s jet-setting "climate czar" is actively destroying reliable American energy by saddling us with outrageous commitments at hypocritical climate conferences, pressuring banks not to lend to fossil fuel producers, and fighting to end oil and gas production.”
Roy vowed to fight for energy freedom for the U.S. by defending “climate tyrants.”
The bill is co-sponsored by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Scott Perry (R-PA), Mary Miller (R-IL), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and Greg Steube (R-FLA).
This comes as Kerry said so blatantly that America “absolutely” does not need to drill for more oil and gas despite Congress calling for more domestic production to increase the supply of oil in order to reduce the cost.
“And energy security worry is driving a lot of the thoughts now about, 'Oh, we need more drilling, we need more drilling of this, we need to go back to coal.' No, we don’t. We absolutely don’t. And we have to prevent a false narrative from entering into this or, again, pun intended, we are cooked,” Kerry said.

Love the bill title.
Send Horse-face out to pasture
All great men and women.
This is not the GOP proposing this bill, it’s eight “far right extremists” (conservatives) who happen to be Republicans.
The party is not behind this.
Disaster, for America, is exactly what the Democrat Party wants.
Unfortunately most of the rest of them are Assistant Democrats.
145 GOP House voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021.
Meanwhile John Effing Kerry the gigolo, continues to strut around the world in his fossil fuel guzzling private jet, paid for by his wife or tax payers.
Yeah has a nice ring to it.
And subsequently voted her OUT of her leadership position.
The bill will be backed by far more than 8 Republicans.
“..Send Horse-face out to pasture...”
From your keyboard to God’s ears.
And take the squinty-eyed, PigFace with him.
No problem getting that passed eh?
“it’s eight “far right extremists” (conservatives) who happen to be Republicans.”
Interesting observation.
You may even be correct as the modern GOPe is virtually
indistinguishable from the Democrat mainline party.
GOP needs to become anti-green in all things.
and how much do these cute names they come up with cost us?
Keep a fresh copy for January.
If the GOP would have sacked up in November, 2020 we would NOT be having this discussion, today.
Reminded me of a movie title “They shoot horses don’t they”
