Pirate's Cove

If Joe says “come on, man” enough times everyone will just fall in line. BTW, are you ready to be treated to a steady diet of the word “historic”? Everything Joe does will be considered historic by the Credentialed Media, unlike, say, Team Trump negotiating all sorts of deals between Israel and Muslim nations

In pursuing historic climate change agenda, Biden may find surprising ally

President-elect Joe Biden has made no secret that tackling climate change will be one of his top priorities. But to enact his platform to reduce global warming he may find an unexpected ally: Republicans.

Biden campaigned on the most ambitious climate agenda in history: one that included plans for pioneering green energy and infrastructure projects and proposals to address environmental racism. Large chunks of his “Build Back Better” economic agenda are explicitly tied to climate-related policies. (snip)

But what comes after that will be the hard part: trying to implement his climate agenda through legislation.

And that’s where he may find a partnership with Republicans on Capitol Hill.

While some in the GOP remain in steadfast denial that human-caused climate change even exists, dozens of Republican lawmakers have acknowledged that the time has come to address the crisis and have put forward policies that have gained some degree of bipartisan traction. (snip)

Interviews with lawmakers from both parties and climate advocacy organizations on both ends of the political spectrum suggest the appetite in both parties for climate change policy is robust, making the topic a likely, even if unexpected, area for bipartisan cooperation under the new president.

If Republicans start crossing the aisle and signing on to this cult garbage, they can kiss 2022 and future elections goodbye. Even if it’s something like trying a bit of “we’ll give you this and you give us that,” they’ll lose. We’ve seen it with illegal immigration and so many other big issues, where they give Dems what they want in exchange for something Republicans want, but, the things for Republicans never materialize. Unfortunately, there are some Big Government Republicans who are fans of a national carbon tax scheme

The Growing Climate Solutions Act, sponsored by Sens. Mike Braun, R-Ind., Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., focuses on capturing carbon technologies in the agricultural sector, while Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Whitehouse have put together another bipartisan bill focused on increasing carbon capture methods that occur naturally within ocean and coastal ecosystems.

Earlier this year, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., began pushing a new conservative climate policy effort along with seven of his Republican colleagues — meant to rival the progressive “Green New Deal” — including Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Tex., who introduced legislation, titled the New Energy Frontier, focused developing carbon-capture technologies.

Carbon capture? Doesn’t really exist, it would be just another government spending boondogle. The climate policies by McCarthy and Crenshaw basically say that the government should keep their hands off. And are big mistakes, because you never want to open the door even a crack to Democrat ideas, because then they will demand more and more.

But, if the media and Democrats think Republicans will roll over and actually implement China Joe’s massive Progressive (nice Fascism) climate scam agenda, they should think again.
