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.”

Man or woman up, tell these people the truth. Who cares who they are, they are wrong and need to be told so. Time to stop placating these people.
Fire her and get competent counsel, you will thank me 20 or so years from now…or sooner, IMHO. Separate your legacy from the lunacy.
Higher education is more akin to getting higher, and drunk while treating it like HS for 2-8 years.
My nephew did it right, he went to CC. Got all his perequisite classes out of the way, and went to University for 2 years and got a degree in Engineering. No debt at all, because he paid for CC cash out of pocket, and earned a scholarship. Then there is my sister, who got a degree in sociology, and works for a welfare NGO. Brains are fried in tar tar oil.
I sure hope the FR crowd is just a wee bit smarter than you've painted them here.
Exactly. Your nephew is probably going to be the most accomplished and successful of his peers. You should be very proud. He obviously inherited some of your intellect.
These climate change activists need to be held accountable for all the damage they're doing, whether it's my crappy refrigerator that gave out after ten years because the over-torqued "EcoStar" engine burned out, or my laundry machines that no longer fill with water to clean my clothes, or a myriad other miseries they're inflicting on us.
The reason why municipalities are suffering "brownouts" is because they shuttered too many coal-burning plants and replaced them with useless wind turbines which don't work, forcing the few remaining coal plants to become overloaded with demand.
These idiots absolutely need to answer for this!
“I sure hope the FR crowd is just a wee bit smarter than you’ve painted them here.”
There’s a bell curve here, like anywhere else.

Bingo
More Seattle- based ignorant leftist bullshit. The writer should look at the historic weather records and fossil/geographical evidence for the past 500,000 years.
My daughter and I found a dinosaur phalange bone on the east side of the DC Beltway along with giant clam shells, 5-6 species of sharks teeth, crocodile and turtle bones/parts, etc at a site the ranged from the Paleocene (about 66 - 705 million years old with he the underlying Cretaceous swamp right under it, ranging
from 66 million back to 120 million years).
DC was a steamy swamp back then and is still one, only this time the dinosaurs are of the species Politicus Magnus Assholus. Nothing has changed.
