Biden signs executive order on the ‘national security consequences of climate change’

#

Marc Morano: "Policies that promote a massive expansion of U.S. domestic energy production is one of the best safeguards against engaging in 'an endless parade' of wars and interventions over energy supplies. Thanks to the Trump administration’s America First energy policy, the U.S. no longer needs to start or fight in wars over energy. America has its own domestically produced energy to rely on." ... 

"In 2019, “U.S. energy exports exceeded imports for the first time since 1952,” the EIA reported. The EIA also reported, 'In 2019, U.S. energy production exceeded energy consumption for the first time since 1957,' when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president. Trump’s energy achievements were so off the charts that the last time the U.S. saw this kind of energy dominance was when Harry S. Truman was president in 1952! President Trump accomplished all of this while the U.S. continued to lead the world in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. ... 

"The proposed climate 'solutions' of the Green New Deal and the Biden administration's climate and energy executive orders is a threat to U.S. national security as the plan would only serve to shrink U.S.  energy production and increase our dependence on Middle Eastern oil and force us to rely on energy from other potentially hostile nations, which could increase the odds of future wars." ... 

"By restricting fossil fuels and mandating solar, wind and electric vehicles will result in more environmental degradation due to increasing the U.S. dependence on rare earth mining operated by China and Russia."

"U.S. spies, analysts and policymakers will write the country's first National Intelligence Estimate on climate change under an executive order President Biden plans to issue today...Much of Biden's directive will focus on national security — an arena experts say will become more strained as the planet heats up.

The task of writing the National Intelligence Estimate will fall to Avril Haines, Biden's newly installed director of national intelligence. These documents typically include input from the multitude of U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA. It's a level of analysis reserved for the most significant threats facing the United States."

‘Thank you, Mr. President’: Trump touts ‘no new wars’ as his policies led to American energy dominance for 1st time since Harry Truman was prez!

"Under the Biden climate plan, America will be discouraging U.S. energy independence, starting with suspending Federal Oil and Gas Permits, encouraging the shuttering, and halting of further fracking efforts in America, and the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. As a result, China just received an unwarranted gift of industrial and military advantage.  America’s most serious competitor can now look forward to Canada’s oil flowing across the Pacific on tankers, rather than south to the U.S.A. via the safer, cleaner, and more efficient pipeline. ... Biden knows that oil and gas are not just an American industry with its 135 refineries in the U.S. but an international industry with more than 700 refineries worldwide that service the demands of the 8 billion living on earth.

With the Biden climate plan, America is about to regress from that energy independent status as we are about to join California and its dependency on foreign countries for its energy needs. Is Biden really excited about California being the only state in contiguous America that imports most of its crude oil energy demands from foreign country suppliers to meet the energy demands of the state? ... 

Biden, like his favorite state of California, are doing everything possible to INCREASE the cost of electricity and fuels, that drives up the cost of everything."

TRUMP: "I am especially proud to be the first president in decades who has started no new wars."

Marc Morano: Thank you, Mr. President! You have achieved what few Presidents have when it comes to securing the U.S.'s national security. Your energy policies contributed greatly to achieving no new wars. Previous Presidents paid lip service to "energy independence" but during your administration, you not only achieved it, but you also went one step better -- you presided over an American energy renaissance that led to U.S. energy dominance!

In 2019, “U.S. energy exports exceeded imports for the first time since 1952,” the EIA reported. The EIA also reported, “In 2019, U.S. energy production exceeded energy consumption for the first time since 1957,” when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president. Trump's energy achievements were so off the charts that the last time the U.S. saw this kind of energy dominance was when Harry S. Truman was president in 1952!

Biden said, "Without clear approach from other... emitters... storms will continue to worsen"

Shellenberger: "False again! - Deaths from hurricanes have declined 90% in 100 years  - Every major scientific review says deaths from disasters *will continue to decline*" 

"We are more resilient than ever: - Deaths from natural disasters declined over 90% - We produce 25% more food than we need — our largest surpluses in history. And there is no scientific scenario for either of those trends to reverse themselves, even with high levels of warming. 

In fact, deaths from natural disasters are at their lowest level in 120 years...

Neither the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) nor any other reputable scientific body predicts a reversal in the long-term trend of declining deaths, even if temperatures rise another three degrees or more."

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: "Climate change is making the world more dangerous. NATO’s task is to preserve peace and keep us safe. So to fulfill our main responsibility, NATO must help to curb climate change for our security today and for the security of future generations." 

"I have been passionate about climate change all of my life. My first job in government was as Deputy Environment Minister, and I had the privilege of serving as UN Special Envoy on Climate Change. Now, as NATO Secretary General, it is my responsibility to address the threat climate change poses to our shared security. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time."

‘Global warming’ causes war claims — debunked – ‘Warm periods are more peaceful than cold ones’ – Bonus Chapter #2 for Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change  - Excerpt: The climate activists have it backward. A 2011 study from the Center for Strategic and International Studies titled “The Climate Wars Myth” found, “Since the dawn of civilization, warmer eras have meant fewer wars.” As author Bruno Tetrais explained, “History shows that ‘warm’ periods are more peaceful than ‘cold’ ones."
