"It might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency," the New York Democrat told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
"He can do many, many things under the emergency powers ... that he could do without legislation," the Senate leader said.
"Trump used this emergency for a stupid wall, which wasn't an emergency. But if there ever was an emergency, climate is one," Schumer added.
For the first time in nearly a decade, Democrats control the Senate, House and White House. But most legislation still has to pass the 60-vote hurdle. Schumer -- who hasn’t committed to leaving the filibuster in place permanently -- told MSNBC that his party was looking into ways to include climate change legislation and other parts of Biden’s Build Back Better plan in budget reconciliation. Reconciliation eliminates the filibuster on certain budgetary legislation.
"There may be things that are reconcilable," Schumer said about the ability to include climate rules in budget legislation.
Reports this week predict the Biden administration will take further executive action on the matter Wednesday. A memo obtained by Reuters revealed a new round of forthcoming executive orders to combat climate change domestically and elevate it to a national security threat

We are on a runaway train headed to a permanent authoritarian government. The only question is how much of a role are the CCP and Xi going to play.
Trump set them back 4 years and now they're making up for lost time.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
“Climate Emergency” will replace Pandemic Emergency” if or when it ever ends.
Newsmax should have a climate death count display on their screen like CNN did with Covid.
Yeah, Declare a Global Warming Climate Emergency Pedo Joe.
Send me some help to clear all the snow that fell here in South Central NM last night and today. Maybe send some heaters , as it never got above 26F here today, and will likely be in the single digits by midnight.
I am waiting for the even further left crazies to conclude that the way to solve global warming and heal the planet is to eliminate most of the disease called humanity. They would, of course start with all of those who do not celebrate their vision of the future.
What could be more of an emergency that "saving the planet"?
A ChiCom style “One Child Policy” throughout the industrialized world.
let’s try to have a little faith.
I think that is an EXCELLENT idea!
Under the ‘emergency declaration’, they can arrest Jack Frost and hold him without trial! Then he’ll stop spreading all the cold weather.

Hey, Chuck U, come back to Upstate NY (remember the state you are SUPPOSED to represent?) over the weekend...going to be REALLY cold, just like your personality...

How large is the Sun compared to Earth?
Compared to Earth, the Sun is enormous! It contains 99.86% of all of the mass of the entire Solar System. The Sun is 864,400 miles (1,391,000 kilometers) across. This is about 109 times the diameter of Earth. The Sun weighs about 333,000 times as much as Earth. It is so large that about 1,300,000 planet Earths can fit inside of it. Earth is about the size of an average sunspot! https://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/ask/5-How-large-is-the-Sun-compared-to-Earth-
In unison, everyone on Earth, “I think we can, I think we can, I think we can, I think we can, I think we can!” 333,000 times and ‘viola’!!
Take care........pilgrim
Our country has experienced a coup. Denying the truth isn't going to help us in our fight to recover our country.
If the ruling elite can deprive Trump of a landslide victory, they can take the presidency from anyone.
That said, if I am wrong, I would gladly eat my words.;-)
Go to China you ass.
They’ll impeach the Creator if it brings them $$$ and power.
I think Joe is just a cardboard cutout of a president. He may not realize it yet, but he soon will.
Getting us locked down for the tax hikes and energy costs hikes.
Everyone write down the price at the pump today, mark it on your calendar and be ready to throw it in their faces when the time comes in the midterm elections. We are not going to fall in line with their B.S.
