Biden Power Grab in Name of Global Warming

No need for Biden to take Chuck Schumer’s advice and officially declare a state of emergency in the name of the imaginary global warming crisis. As former Director of the National Economic Council Larry Kudlow observes, all he had to do is sign yet another of his countless executive orders:

The things the executive order will regulate and control add up to really the whole economy, all in the name of global warming. Massive and unprecedented central power would come from the District of Columbia and be exercised by upper- and middle-level bureaucrats. …

Biden’s order starts with the claim that “intensifying impacts of climate change present physical risk to assets, publicly traded securities, private investments, and companies — such as increased extreme weather risk leading to supply chain disruptions.”

There is no evidence that anything we do or refrain from doing will have any impact on extreme weather. Climate malarkey is such a thin pretext as to barely serve as a fig leaf on an ongoing authoritarian power grab.

On such a basis, the Bidenites are claiming the power to regulate just about everything. Even your signing a loan for a new home, or how your savings and retirement funds are managed.

It is past time for resistance.

Someone’s got to stand athwart history and just say, “No, we’re not going to bring down our entire capitalist, market-based, free-enterprise system, nor our values, nor our workforce, nor our international standing, because of a bunch of fact-free assertions that at best indicate minor and quite manageable problems in the years ahead.”

Believing that the temperature might fluctuate upward is reasonable. This may even require mitigation measures, like ensuring that we have a reliable energy supply to keep the AC going. Believing that the government can control the global climate by micromanaging economic activity is literally insane.

A White House “fact” sheet outlining the power grab can be found here. Kudlow doesn’t advise trying to read the entire EO.

The full text of the executive order is a complete bureaucratic word salad. What it makes clear is that they are coming for you and your property and the free market system that built our country.

The reason our leftist rulers are obsessed with “equity” is because it would take a totalitarian level of control to impose it. The same motive drives the global warming hoax— and for that matter, everything else the Party of Government inflicts on us.
