Just remember, it was mostly Democrat mayors and governors that have exploited the “covid crisis” to destroy small businesses and the wage earners that depended on them. Now they plan to raid the treasury for far left political goals (pure socialism) and exploit the greatly exaggerated “carbon crisis” to destroy the oil, gas and chemical industry and spend trillions more of our future taxpayers’ money to build “green” energy systems that do not work and require 100% backup by fossil fueled systems. Talk about wasting our money!
Biden remembers the polluting ways of the oil industry from his childhood, but is completely ignorant of the great gains made in efficiency (of raw materials and energy) by the oil and chemical industry. Our air and water continue to become cleaner every year, and the improvements made since 1970 have been amazing. The effect of man made carbon dioxide emissions have been greatly exaggerated, and the latest “science” on this subject has gone from a 4-7 deg C increase in global temperatures to less than 0.5 deg C, based on the latest models being published. The real effect is probably much less than that. In fact, we are near the lowest CO2 concentration levels in our atmosphere in the history of life on our planet, and that has probably been one of the causes of the recent ice ages, which have wreaked havoc on life, virtually wiping it out under massive glaciers.
If CO2 was really a threat, the much safer and smarter nuclear energy systems of today would be built, but the left is traditionally against that. Just like the recent behaviors of Democrat governors show that they do not think much of the threat of covid on their own lives, they do not really believe CO2 is a threat, or they would be promoting nuclear power.
