One recent gaffe stands out: The president said last week during an interview with the Weather Channel that he had already "Practically speaking" declared a climate emergency.
Operating under emergency climate powers, a president could halt "The export of crude oil phase out all exports and imports of fossil fuels entirely stop issuing permits for offshore oil and gas wells under already existing leases and halt all drilling immediately marshaling funding under the DPA to deploy clean energy - for example, rooftop solar installations on low-income housing," according to Morano.
Climate scientist Peter Kalmus wants Biden to declare a climate emergency so "He could unleash a historic education program to counter fossil fuel industry disinformation ban new fossil-fuel vehicle sales by 2030, prosecute violations by fossil fuel polluters, commit to veto laws granting immunity to such criminals, and more," all done without the approval of Congress.
He began suggesting Biden declare a climate emergency almost as soon as he was sworn in as president.
Jeff Merkley, Oregon Democrat, and socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont also want Biden to go rogue, urging him in a letter "To put us on an emergency footing and aggressively use your executive powers to address the climate crisis."
Spreading fear about the climate is only a means for the Democrats to reach their ends.
