Would a ‘Climate Emergency’ Open the Same Door to Authoritarian Governance as the ‘COVID Emergency?’
There are better ways to address climate change than insisting federal lawmakers declare a national “climate emergency” — including building a left-right coalition that can work together to build resilience to the environmental challenges of the 21st century while preserving democracy, civil liberties and human rights.

How would a ‘climate emergency’ even work?
". . . Environmental advocacy groups such as the Center for Biological Diversity have called on the Biden administration to invoke specific emergency statutes that would give him the power to:
- Ban crude oil exports.
- Stop oil and gas drilling on the outer continental shelf.
- Curtail international trade and investment in fossil fuels.
However, there are many reasons to doubt such grandiose claims. Numerous energy and materials experts, including the well-known analyst Vaclav Smil, have concluded that a rapid transition to “green” energy may not even be possible.
Further, the Biden administration would probably not take steps to quickly phase out fossil fuels at the risk of crashing the economy. As BlackRock noted its 2023 Global Outlook: “The faster the transition [the] more volatile inflation and economic activity.”
If Biden exercised his emergency powers, he would most likely use them to fast-track “green” energy projects while stopping far short of serious efforts to phase out fossil fuels.
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 already set the precedent: It included hundreds of billions of dollars for “green” energy subsidies and opened millions of acres of public lands and offshore waters to fossil-fuel development.
This play-both-sides approach would obviously do little to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, which rose globally to 52 billion tons in 2022 (including about 36 billion tons of carbon) from 51 billion tons in 2021.
Even if Biden fully exercised the emergency powers identified by the Center for Biological Diversity, this would have little effect on emissions.. . . "

Climate Change Lockdowns?
I think big Tech knows things are about to change and they're starting to cover their own asses instead of Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton's. You know they know more than we do so maybe something big is about to happen....ahead of midterm--- haven't heard too much about Hunter lately. Or Durham.
