This would be the time I usually write “so, when’s AG Garland going to give up his own fossil fueled travel and make his life carbon neutral? How about the operations of the DOJ?” But, this is actually rather dangerous, as they are weaponizing the climate cult via the Department Of Justice

Here’s from his statement
Today, I am announcing three actions that the Department is taking to advance environmental justice.
First, consistent with the President’s Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, we are issuing a comprehensive environmental justice enforcement strategy. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta will discuss that strategy in just a moment.
Second, I am pleased to announce that we are launching the Justice Department’s first-ever Office of Environmental Justice to oversee and help guide the Justice Department’s wide-ranging environmental justice efforts. Like all parts of government, it will get its own acronym: OEJ.
And third, the Justice Department is issuing an Interim Final Rule that will restore the use of an important law enforcement tool – supplemental environmental projects – subject to new guidelines and limitations that I will also be issuing today.
Administrator Regan and I know that the communities most impacted by environmental harm are not isolated in any one part of our country. Environmental crime and injustice touch communities in all our cities, towns, rural areas, and on Tribal lands.
Although violations of our environmental laws can happen anywhere, communities of color, indigenous communities, and low-income communities often bear the brunt of the harm caused by environmental crime, pollution, and climate change.
This is using the power of the federal justice department to go after any who engage in Wrongthink on ‘climate change’. This is the logical (sic) extension of what the Cult of Climastrology has been working towards, having the federal government threaten non-adherents with investigation and prosecution, and then prosecution. It’s meant to scare people, to cow them, make them be quiet, make them Comply. Using the federal government as an authoritarian entity. Creating Green Shirts with prosecutorial powers.
Uh K, fine. But for every new hire, lay off two people from other agencies charged with the same responsibilities.
