If you would, for clarification, is there a particular national emergency authority that you are suggesting that he invoke, or are you just suggesting he should declare an emergency because it gets people's attention?
Biden could declare climate emergency as soon as this week, sources say

According to the Brennan Center, there have been 58 national emergencies called by presidents since 1979. Thirty-one of those national emergencies are still in effect.
Rare ‘triple’ La Niña climate event looks likely — what does the future hold?
Meteorologists are forecasting a third consecutive year of La Niña. Some researchers say similar conditions could become more common as the planet warms.

Triple La Nina going on now, which means draught in the southern part of the US.
Significant changes in behaviors would be needed, nuclear and more green is needed.
More work from home to limit traffic to and from work, tax credits for incentives.
Climate will continue to warm, will need to adjust regardless of an executive order
I might be remembering wrong, but didn't Manchin say he is open to a few dollars towards climate once he sees July inflation numbers and if those are heading in the right direction? I think he was working with the others on some health care items. Seems like they are getting closer to a reasonable plan, slowly but surely.
yeah, that's always been a little comedic how, outside of natural disasters, those authorities have been historically abused. I believe we had been operating under the Korean War emergency for something like 30 years until the NEA was passed.
There are about 140 or so emergency powers authorizations that a president may invoke. They're quite specific as to how it gets declared, and more importantly, what he's actually authorized to do in light of the emergency. Took a quick scroll through a BC publication, and didn't see any general grants to do things relating to environmental regulation, other than one thing that actually makes it easier to pollute if a governor asks you to let them.

We are in great jeopardy of moving past a point of no return that will make the earth uninhabitable. Even if we act now, climate change will be devastating to all life on earth, including humans.
I agree. But every sane person should recognize that climate change is, in fact, an emergency. If some of those previous situations can be called "emergencies" we might want revisit our terminology to better accommodate "real" emergencies.
Either way, climate change is an easy fit.
Sounds like Chicken Little. Color me a non believer. I believe this is a leftist scheme to control the people and direct resources to dem donors.
Remember global warming? It wasn't convincing enough people so now we have climate change. For all possible weather events. Too wet, climate change, too dry climate change, too hot climate change, too cold? Get it.
It would be cool if he did pull the emergency switch if the robot from Lost in Space would go on all televisions blaring “Danger, Will Robinson!!”
Today the link between fossil fuels and manmade climate change is unmistakable, and that was a top arguement against climate change that began back in the 60s. Fifty years of denial is killing us today and apparently there's still no emergency.
I might listen if Biden, Pelosi and the rest of the gang downsize and move to 1 or 2 bedroom apartments, fly commercial with the rest of us, drive only electric cars, etc., etc.
Until then, IDGAF.
Until then, IDGAF.
I guess LP, liquified propane, is because a lot of it is made from renewables, similar to biodiesels:
Renewable propane (also known as biopropane) is a non-fossil fuel that is produced from 100% renewable raw materials. It's commonly produced from inexpensive and abundant feedstock like animal fat, algae and cooking oil. Renewable propane has the same chemical structure and physical properties as conventional propane.
Don’t mind me guys, I’ll just be here in the corner fapping as renewable energy gets further subsidized by the government. Time to get ya solar boys! It’s free money babay!!!!
Can you tell me why all the banks are still lending to build all this housing on the coast lines? All the while not putting anything into the risk they could lose it all because of this so called warming? Why did Obama buy a mansion right on the coast?
Can you tell me in the history of the earth, are we in a colder part of the earth's temp or warmer?
You probably should read this article to enlighten yourself just a bit more.
NASA admits climate change occurs because of changes in Earth's solar orbit, not because of SUVs and fossil fuels -- Sott.net
For more than 60 years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has known that the changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. But the space agency, for whatever reason, has chosen to let...

Make fun of his stance but don't rag on gym teachers. Yeah there is the stereotype but most aren't that way. The fact that he's on this message board defending claims should prove that.
Wow, not that there was any doubt before, but you’re a real piece of shit. What kind of insecure limp d*ck attacks someones profession?
1. If China isn't on board nothing we do is going to matter.
2. I think you are vastly underestimating humans ability to adapt.
3. Are we stopping all human progress in the areas of industry, technology, agriculture, medicine and innovation in the name of climate? If we stop all of this because of climate the amount of human suffering especially in poor countries will be worse than any war, pandemic or climate crisis.
I assume you are emptying out your bank accounts as we speak to help go fight the sun.
China and India need to be on board as well. Without them the West’s actions don’t mean shit.
Call me when costal elitists Democrats in the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Malibu and San Francisco start selling their oceanfront properties because of climate.
Thx. I get that emergencies have been declared under various authorities over our history. I’m trying to understand what the statutory emergency authority he’s trying to invoke here is, and why that would enable him to do things that presumably he’s been unable to get through congress.Others have found this link useful.

Oh I am perfectly willing to accept that climate change might be invoked as something akin to an “urgency” at the least, particularly compared up other historical events.
You do realize global warming is responsible for climate change right?
You’re in way over your head here I’m afraid. It is noticeably affecting weather patterns across the globe and altering the jet stream .
Try and follow this K? It was hotter today in the UK than ever before in recorded history.
You better sit this one out if you don’t know the science behind what climate change does on a global scale
I'll follow the "climate science" when the political party that is pushing it isn't the same one that tries to convince the world that men can have babies and full term babies are just a glump of cells.
