Fighting Climate Change, Oops

[Independent thinker]

Well, the new Inflation Reduction Act is going to help the US achieve closer to it's climate goals than if we had done nothing. Other countries were apparently waiting to see if we would actually do something as they figured if the US didn't lead the way in doing something, then what was the point of them doing something? So, they sat back and did nothing. Apparently, unlike the lefties care to admit, the US can't change the world's climate all by ourselves so we are supposed to lead the way so that other countries would follow suit and, wa-lah, the planet would be saved. Oops, not so fast:

China cuts off vital US contacts over Pelosi Taiwan visit

China cut off contacts with the United States on vital issues Friday — including military matters and crucial climate cooperation — as concerns rose that the Communist government's hostile reaction to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Taiwan visit could signal a lasting, more aggressive approach...

This Act is the flip side of what the Democrat Congress did in 1993 when they hurriedly passed a tax-hike budget that they could claim revived an economy that had already recovered under Bush in the last quarter of 1992. Inversely, this Inflation Reduction Act will actually increase inflation which will be blamed on the new Republican Congress in 2023.

It does not increase inflation and it meets 80% of climate goals according to climate conscious organizations

From the OP link:

China stopped short of interrupting economic and trade talks, where it is looking to Biden to lift tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on imports from China.

Yeah, Trump's idiotic tariff war which widened our trade gap to record levels. So "easy to win", eh Dotard?

Those tariffs are adding to our current inflation problem.

That is a lefty myth which is not true but it suits your political agenda to spread the big lie.
