White House National Climate Advisor & former EPA chief Gina McCarthy: "We have solutions that can deliver. We're actually going to do 100 rules this year alone on appliances, just like you asked. We are developing partnerships on how we work together for new building standards, even for sustainable airlines. Who'd a thunk that they'd be all in, but they better be, or they're gonna be out of here."

Climate Depot's Morano comment: "Welcome the Dystopia USA 2022. The very last thing Americans need right now is a regulatory ambush of 100 additional climate 'rules' that would impact every major home appliance but do absolutely nothing for the climate. After years of COVID lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates, skyrocketing energy costs and now war, U.S. businesses do not need mandated government 'partnerships' to meet mythical climate 'standards.' The Biden administration's attempt to force so-called 'sustainable airlines' on the public -- or else -- is not a sane path forward." 

Energy prices have risen sharply since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and are expected to continue at “historically high” levels until 2024, harming economic growth, according to the World Bank. “This amounts to the largest commodity shock we’ve experienced since the 1970s,” said Indermit Gill, the World Bank’s vice president for equitable growth, finance, and institutions. ... 

“These developments have started to raise the specter of stagflation,” Gill warned in a statement on the World Bank’s Commodity Markets Outlook report.

Steve Milloy: Looking past the left-wing politics of the Earth Day’s organizers, 1970 was the right time to make a concerted effort to clean things up. And we did. Many at the time were genuinely concerned about the potential effect of chemicals and emissions on human health. ... When the Cold War ended around 1990, many left-wing radicals found themselves with nothing to agitate. So they joined the environmental movement. About this same time, global warming fears started to gain traction. It didn’t take long for the radicals to figure out that global warming was a horse they could ride since the implication of government regulation of fossil fuel emissions was total economic and societal control. ...

Now in 2022, environmentalism has become totally unhinged as it is all in for climate hysteria. .. it’s way past time to stop and get a grip on reality. Earth Day? No thank you. Let’s instead return to an age of reason.

EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan touts the EPA vehicle new standards to "advance toward a zero-emissions transportation future.”

The EPA claims the "updated greenhouse gas (GHG) standards for certain commercial vehicle categories"  will help in "charting a path to advance zero-emission vehicles in the heavy-duty fleet."

Climate Depot's Marc Morano comments: "It's time for the Biden administration to remove these 'zero-emissions future' sanctions on the U.S. companies & consumers now. U.S. climate sanctions on Americans have more impact than U.S. sanctions against Russia." 

Morano: ‘No ban on Russian oil & gas until the U.S. lifts its sanctions against U.S. domestic energy’
