AP source: Biden holds off on climate emergency declaration

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will travel to Massachusetts on Wednesday to promote his efforts to combat climate change but will stop short of issuing an emergency declaration that would unlock federal resources to deal with the issue, according to a person familiar with the president’s plans.

Biden has been under pressure to issue an emergency declaration after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., pulled out of negotiations over climate legislation. During his visit to Somerset, Mass., Biden could announce other steps on climate change but the White House has not released details.

The president has been trying to signal to Democratic voters that he’s aggressively tackling global warming at a time when some of his supporters have despaired about the lack of progress. He has pledged to push forward on his own in the absence of congressional action.

An emergency declaration could be used as a legal basis to block oil and gas drilling or other fossil fuel projects. However, many of those steps would likely be challenged in court by energy companies or Republican-led states.

I would like to suggest that in order to convince the rest of us of the sincerity of there positions, strength of their beliefs, and for the scientific community - their confidence in their own data, all those pushing the climate change agenda pledge to give up ALL their personal wealth if they are wrong.

Climate emergency, the most absurd crap I ever heard. Even if there was, WHAT the hell are you going to do about it?

The definition of “emergency” is changing. Uvalde was an emergency and yet the government failed to act on that one.

Sure, Biden wants to go green and jack up costs to manufacture in USA. While China and India (40% of people in world, almost 10 times bigger than people in USA) are building hundreds of NEW coal power plants for cheaper energy. Way to go Brandon.
