The call was scheduled to be at 830am, before he took the weekend off, heading to Delaware at 11:55am, a trip that would include a fossil fueled helicopter than many fossil fueled SUVs
Biden hosts climate meeting amid high gas price pressure
President Joe Biden, who has recently been focused on boosting oil production to reduce rising gas costs, will turn his attention to climate change on Friday when he convenes a virtual meeting of some of the world’s biggest economies.
Among the participants will be China, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Also present will be Egypt, which is hosting the next United Nations summit on climate change, and the U.N. secretary general, António Guterres.
The conference is known as the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate, and it began under President Barack Obama in 2009.
The White House said the meeting is a “continuation of the president’s efforts to use all levers to tackle the global climate crisis.” Senior administration officials, who were not authorized to comment publicly before the event, said Biden would use the opportunity to prod his counterparts to adopt additional efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Oh, the types of efforts that drive up the cost of gasoline and food?
Among the priorities are slashing methane leaks and getting more zero-emission vehicles on the roads.
Yet, Biden doesn’t use any himself. His massive convoy of vehicles are all fossil fueled. With a recession looming, only hardcore climate cultists care about this stuff. And the ones pushing this the hardest always seem to be the biggest hypocrites.
Separately, Politico writes this morning
President JOE BIDEN is hitting the road this summer, racking up miles on multiple stops in Europe and the Middle East — plus, presumably, the occasional sojourn to his beachfront home in Delaware.
Occasional? It’s almost every single weekend.
Fresh Demand for U.S. and E.U. to Transfer Wealth Through ‘Climate Reparations’
A call for a host of taxes on the U.S. and European nations designed to transfer wealth to economies confronting “the cost of drought, floods and superstorms made worse by rising temperatures” was renewed Wednesday at a U.N. climate conference in Germany.
If heeded, the so-called “loss and damage” demand will see prosperous, successful countries on the hook for billions of dollars for decades or even centuries to come.
No. Piss off.
