Biden gang doesn't care about authority when they want to do something.
"I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but it appears that Gen. Ripper exceeded his authority."

The Biden administration made two virtue-signaling proclamations at last week’s COP28 conference in Dubai it says will help save the planet from climate change.
The policies aren’t likely to change the planet’s temperature by even one-tenth of a degree, but they might just destroy the 21st-century American industrial economy as we know it.
First, Team Biden announced it will stop production of all new coal plants in the United States.
This comes on the heels of President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency saying this year it would impose new power-plant emission regulations that are virtually impossible for coal plants to comply with.
The bottom line: no more coal. Period.
But the White House was just getting started.
Vice President Kamala Harris trumpeted the next day new rules to “sharply reduce methane from the oil and natural gas industry.”
The administration calls methane a “super-pollutant” it wants to eliminate because it’s “many times more potent than carbon dioxide.”
But methane is effectively a hydrocarbon that comes from natural gas.
Eliminating methane is a de facto ban on natural-gas power plants.
Biden is playing a dangerous game of unilateral energy disarmament.
If he has his way, we will jump off the cliff first in the naïve hope that China, India, Russia and Europe are right behind us.
Whether intentional or not, this radical green agenda will cripple our global economic leadership, cost our economy millions of jobs and make Americans colder in their homes in the winter and hotter in the summer.

You forgot your /s tag.
Priceless........this non compis mentis blockhead who can’t even find his way off a 4”
podium, who has lost all ability to reason, is screwing around w/ 60% our energy needs.
I guess that’s why 81 million voters put him in office.......snx.
CO2 is so scarce in the atmosphere, it is counted in a few hundred parts per million. Methane by contrast, is so scarce it is counted in a few hundred parts per Billion.
And, in the atmosphere as opposed to laboratory conditions, its greenhouse property is totally swamped by the effects of water vapor, overlapping the same IR frequencies. IOW, methane is literally a nonfactor in climatic effect.
If anyone wants proof that the whole issue is purely political, this is it.
The wooden indian going to ban eating of refried beans?
50 million illegal criminal migrants will protest.
Methane?
Cow farts banned in Cowafornia.
But they forgot to ban people farts.
Geez...the methane! Was loud too!
Poor graphics. “Other Countries” should state +53%, not -53%.
I caught that too. Rookie mistake.
Pretty sure oil fields already get rid of methane... They sell it in natural gas if it’s viable, or if not they burn it off
