Historians of the future will look back on 2022 as the year America gave up addressing human-caused climate change.
And given the United States’ critical role in international leadership, this will be remembered as the year the world gave up, too.
President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda contained much of the Green New Deal, aiming for a 100% clean energy economy by 2050; making big investments in clean-energy technology, climate research and innovation; becoming the world’s leading exporter of clean-energy technology, and standing up to big polluters and greenhouse-gas emitters.
But even watered down, it couldn’t make it through Congress.
Republicans appear likely to win one or both chambers in the fall, and the GOP is stalwartly opposed even to believing climate change is real and human-caused, much less to addressing it. The most modest progress, such as investing in Amtrak, which moves more people with less emissions than most other modes, may be at risk.
And don’t forget that former President Donald Trump and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell packed a right-wing supermajority on the Supreme Court. This past month the court voted 6-3 to limit the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to curb power-plant emissions.
But reality doesn’t care what Republicans “believe.”

OMG it’s 90 degrees in July. The word be ending LOL
Only Almighty God can change and control the climate. Man cannot.
There is no such thing as man made global warming. Another scam by scum!
Climate change loonies will be looked at in the future the same way as we look at the alchemists today.
In the summer it’s hot. Wow. When did that start happening? We’d better do something about it!
I don't think he believes this stuff. In his numerous past postings about the climate hoax, Oldeconomybuyer would always start the thread with a photo of Goebbels, the noted Nazi propagandist/liar from the 3rd Reich.
I don't know why he has stopped giving us the photo because it did show exactly what he thought of this climate garbage.
Bring back Goebbels!
Let’s stipulate that the Earth has an appropriate temperature, and that you can measure it (yes, I know that’s false).
What’s the climate null hypothesis? Is it that the temperature does not change absent human activity?
We already waste billions in that dark money pit called Amtrak, and this joker wants to spend more?
Have they named a school after AOC yet?
I think there was a Caliph Baraq Elementary by his second year as POTUS.
Nobody much believes the climate change cult even believes much of their own preaching either because, among other examples, they are buying prime coastal properties in Florida or along the Rivera rather than buying wheat fields (or potential wheat fields) in Alberta or Siberia.
What we should be doing is preparing for Winter, because then it gets cold. And with energy prices people are going to freeze to death. We need to drill and refine and do it now.
I like seeing the Seattle Times in despair, I think posting this is fine.
Kind of funny that Caliph Baraq bought one ocean front mansion in Massachusetts and is building another one in Hawaii.
‘Why post it here?’
looks like you and a few others here could use a tune up of your sarcasm meters...
The cliamte alarmists may think they have tons of calculations about the climate on their side - so they think - but they have next to zero calculations on the negative economic and human impacts on their artificial deadlines for achieving all their mandates.
Their “green” mandates are to the economy what Pol Pot was to Cambodia - mass destruction for a “true believer’s” agenda.
‘Only Almighty God can change and control the climate.’
actually, the sun controls climate temperatures...
The athor of this opinion piece is a novelist. (look him up).
My guess is this latest piece he wrote is another novel.
We already waste billions in that dark money pit called Amtrak, and this joker wants to spend more?

To the Deep Green Climate Alarmist, the subsidizing of Amtrak is wonderful, because it moves money from the general population to his favored population, as well as centralizing government control over transportation.
Win-win for him!
Remember, to him, most people in flyover country are dangerous hicks who are superstitious and ignorant, with guns.
They (us) need to be disarmed, moved in to dense public housing for better control, and the children properly indoctrinated in public schools to teach them civilized manners and attitudes, especially to move them away from dangerous, obsolete religions.
The public schools have the added benefit of grooming more kids for the sexual pleasure of the urban populations...
What hyperbole!!
They’re getting desperate that none of their scare tactics are working.
It started with global warming, when that didn’t materialize they switched to “climate change”, when that didn’t do the trick, they went to “climate crisis” and then “climate emergency” and now they’re gleefully promising “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE”.
