A Fox News guest said Senate Republicans have failed to react to the threat of a “climate emergency” declaration by President Joe Biden.
Biden administration officials considered a “climate emergency” initiative in July 2022, according to emails released following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from Energy Policy Advocates. Left Democrats called on Biden to declare a “climate emergency” in June, citing wildfires in Canada that caused smoke to drift into the eastern United States, Bloomberg News reported.

“If I were a senator, I’d be burning the place down and making it clear that the Biden administration is trying to destroy this country through climate policy, but Republicans don’t seem too concerned about it,” JunkScience’s Steve Milloy. com told Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
Biden canceled oil leases in Alaska granted at the end of the Trump administration. according to CBS, while proposing new regulations to limit energy production. Biden considered declaring a climate emergency in 2022, but did not do so.
“Most significant was the message from all the protesters in the streets of New York City urging Joe Biden to declare a national climate emergency. Now, that sounds like a slogan, but there is real strength behind it,” Marc Morano told Ingraham. “The Covid emergency declaration made climate activists jealous. We had a Teen Vogue activist, Jamie Margolis, say, “If we can shut down the world for a virus, we can do the same for the climate.” “That’s exactly what they want to do.”
“The Center for Biological Diversity has estimated that Joe Biden will gain 130 new executive powers to circumvent democracy if this climate emergency declaration is passed,” Morano continued. “They will literally not be able to have a vote in Congress to impose this agenda on us, just like Covid.”
