President Joe Biden told the COP27 conference Friday the "very life of the planet" is at stake in the climate crisis as he gave an assurance that the United States is on track to slash carbon emissions.
"The climate crisis is about human security, economic security, environmental security, national security and the very life of the planet," he told an audience at the conference in Egypt.
Biden said the United States is "on track" to achieve its pledge of cutting emissions 50-52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.
"The United States will meet our emissions targets," he said, laying out major legislation passed under his presidency, including the largest ever US government investment in clean energy.
"Every nation needs to step up. At this gathering, we must renew and raise our climate ambitions," he said in a speech that lasted about 22 minutes and was briefly interrupted by unidentified people in the crowd making howling noises.
As he left the venue to return to Air Force One for the flight to the regional ASEAN summit in Cambodia, reporters asked Biden what would persuade his Republican party opponents to agree to fund expensive climate initiatives.

The planet is not in danger.
His planet, or ours?
Sounds convincing…

With all this gaslighting, I don’t see how they are going to reduce emissions.
Jao Bai Din, WAR MONGER, FEAR MONGER.
Plant Earth has been hit by meteors the size of the moon and frozen a mile deep yet life still thrives; there’s NOTHING humanity can do to hurt her.
Who GAS what Brandon said, WHAT DID OOGLOOK FETTERMAN SAY?
But can life survive when “climate change” causes the whole world to burst into a burning ball of fire?
I love posting this one from George Carlin;
“We’re so self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I’m tired of this shit. I’m tired of effing Earth Day. I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren’t enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don’t give a shit about the planet. Not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me.
The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!
We’re going away. Pack your shit, folks. We’re going away. And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam … The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.
The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”
Plastic… @$$hole.”
It is not about the climate, never has been. It is about control, another attempt to force us to give up our liberty and freedom for the sake of the government. Pay no attention to these charlatans, especially the evil, corrupt, senile pdophile pretending to be president.
Humans survived the freakin’ ice age.
I think we’ll be fine for a long time to come.
Decent life is endangered...by governments.
The Climate will continue to do whatever it pleases no matter how many fans and solar panels are erected.

I agree. What’s the solution? Where is the proof of concept for running countries using alternative energy? What’s the impact on the thousands of items that contain petroleum? How much will this cost? Who gets the money? What are the risk factors involved? What happens if those developing and implementing it are wrong?
They had over 30 years to figure these simple questions out. They need to stop whining and blaming and actually do something about it. Especially with the greatest minds on the planet.
Basically, “WHAT’S THE PLAN?”
Well played sir!
One of the greatest rant!
Hey Bidet - try to convince Xi when you see him.
When you have a president constantly speaking in apocalyptic terms, you don’t have a leader. You have a very dangerous person.
