MOOSE – Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff announced Wednesday a $44 million investment in National Park Service climate-resilient conservation projects, including protection of troubled whitebark pine.
“Since day one of our administration, President Biden and my wife, Vice President Harris, have been fighting back against this climate crisis,” Emhoff said amid a sea of sagebrush at Antelope Flats. A climate crisis is ongoing everywhere, he said.
“There’s no disputing it,” Emhoff said. “There’s no denying it.”
He pointed to wildfires “happening all over the country,” to rising tides, flooding and extreme heat.
“We must act now before it’s too late,” he said, “too late to preserve this incredible, iconic landscape of Grand Teton.”
Yellowstone and Grand Teton will receive $712,665 this year from the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for restoration and climate-change impacts, according to information provided by the administration.

He’s the beard
When I read this, I thought this grifter was making a real, ie personal, investment.
But no, its virtue signaling. His noble largesse is with taxpayer money.
We applaud his generosity and concern,
Another grifter.
Act now and give me your hard earned money before it’s too late! Oh,brother!
The only time the crazy greens let you touch a tree is when they cut them down for wind/solar farms ,LOL
Or to put up a concrete noise abatement wall along a road. Never mind that trees and greenery/hedges are ACTUAL living breathing life giving noise abatement!!! 😡
The US FOREST SERVICE has totally ignored the damage from the BARK BEETLE.
I have even heard a “ranger” deny there is any problem with them.
When a fire does happen, the ECO-TERRORISTS refuse to let ANY lumber be salvaged. There is ALWAYS salvageable lumber—but only for about 24 months. They always delay & fight such actions. Then, the downed trees become more food for the BARK BEETLE.
