Political newcomer Handsy Joe Bide says to trust him, his inexperience in government will allow him to make changes to stop Bad Weather
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Monday that urgent action is needed to prevent climate change, pointing to worsening Western wildfires that have killed dozens of people and scorched 5 million acres across 10 states this year.
Biden, a former vice president, said in a speech outside the Delaware Museum of Natural History in Wilmington that he would rejoin the Paris climate agreement to reduce greenhouse emissions. President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement, saying other countries got unfair advantage from it.
Biden also said that he would spur the development of renewable energy through steps such as shifting the federal fleet of vehicles from fossil fuels to electric power. But Biden said the country wouldn’t be safe with Trump, who has called climate change a “hoax.”
“If you give a climate arsonist four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised if we have more of American ablaze,†Biden said. “We need a president who respects science, who understands that the damage from climate change is already here and unless we take urgent action, it’ll soon be more catastrophic.” (big snip)
Biden has proposed to spend $2 trillion to spur development of of technology such as generating power without carbon emissions by 2035.
“We have to act as a nation,” Biden said. “It shouldn’t be so bad that millions of Americans live in the shadow of an orange sky and are left asking: Is doomsday here?”
It’s a good thing Jo wasn’t elected to the U.S. Senate first in 1972, right? Nor that he spent eight years as Vice President, right? Why didn’t he do all these big things while in office? Don’t forget, the Paris Climate Agreement is actually a voluntary agreement with no force of law. And most of the signatories are failing to come out with plans, much less stick to any plans. Seriously, what has Joe done? He was certainly one of the Senators who voted 95-0 against joining the Kyoto Protocol, right? Does he only get power for his home from “renewables”? Is he driving a straight electric vehicle? What has he done?
As for this whole “we” thing, nah, I’m good. Let the hardcore climate cultists like Joe act in their own lives. I might believe there’s something to the notion that the changes to the climate are mostly/solely caused by mankind if they give up their own use of fossil fuels and make their own lives carbon neutral.

Of course, the media wouldn’t ask him tough questions, anyhow.
