I will declare a Climate Emergency, and begin an immediate mass mobilization for a just transition from a dirty economy to a clean economy. By the way, this will create millions of jobs. 1/3
COP28 is around the corner & the UN just released a dire new report. If countries fully implement their plans to cut carbon emissions as currently promised under the Paris Agreement framework, the planet will still warm 2.9C. That's double Paris' target. grist.org/cop28/un-emissions…

Despite the green investments in the IRA, President Biden has given more oil drilling permits than even Trump did. It does little good to invest in green energy when you’re also granting all those drilling permits and approving the Willow Project. It’s time to ramp down, not ramp up, fossil fuel extraction. Not later. Now. 2/3

One of the most shameful aspects of this is all the environmental groups who have endorsed Biden, allowing themselves to be so seduced by the false leverage of a White House phone call returned every once in a while that they themselves become unwitting tools. 3/3

This is all well and good. It should be done. How would you navigate Congress? How would you get it funded? What is your strategy to bring the party with you, and then convert the opposition? Do you have answers for that, or r u just going to keep saying things are rigged?

You can't just immediately transition over to cleaner energy sources. It's going to take awhile to build up the necessary infrastructure and we also need a suitable replacement for gasoline and diesel. EV take too long to charge, we will need hydrogen to be our new fuel.

There is no such climate crisis. The John Kerry BS and gaslighting needs to stop .

Well, you just lost my vote. Emergency powers = illegal government power grab. I suspect your war on climate change would be about as good for civil liberties as the war on drugs and the war on terror.

Wishing it won’t make it so. Have you met the MAGA Congress?

No you won't. You have a 0% chance of becoming president.
