Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday pushed back against a GOP congressman who voiced skepticism about the threat of climate change, suggesting the issue was being used by the Biden administration to secure funding and was not a serious concern.
“Can you provide to me, or do you know any research on your own to justify this drastic climate change that we have to do today or the next four or five years this world’s going to come to an end?” Rep Jerry Carl (R-Ala.) asked Yellen at a hearing on the banking system.

Climate Change Scam the reason Yellen is not fit for the job ,LOL
An existential threat to endless money laundering on the part of government bureaucrats.
All these people in this failed administration are leftist activist freaks, and they are very proactive.
Only the left would have the arrogance to say that spending month will change the weather. Only the left would believe such nonsense.
But there is a higher purpose to all this: International socialism.
“Climate Change Scam the reason Yellen is not fit for the job”
BINGO!
They need all the useful idiot stooges like Yellen they can dig up.
I would like just one climate change proponent of massive government taxation and theft to tell me when, in the history of the planet, the climate didn’t change.
The Hill is a shill. Once they disallowed comments, I no longer click their neo-marxist website.
What does her position have to do with vudu climate speculation?
Nah, don’t worry you never was has been hag. Climate change is transitory.
Alexander Hamilton established the US Department of the Treasury specifically to fight the scourge of carbon dioxide. I read it in the NYT.
If not for fear the Dems would have nothing to offer.
Rainbow hockey sticks are a clear indication of the settled
science (all agree) that we’re doomed. Just ask Greta.
She knows all.
LOL!
She’s primarily not fit for the job because she is a proponent of MMT - Modern Monetary Theory!
She’s a whole spectrum of “unfit” positions, ideas, beliefs & attitudes for the job.
Face it, Yellen is not an expert on anything, not finance or economics and much less the climate.
Why don't "business as usual" GOP lawmakers point out that the states have never expressly constitutinally given the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific power to deal with politically correct issues like government-manufactured global warming crisis?
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
In fact, the drafters of the Constitution limited the fed's powers to deal with public safety to suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus during times of rebellion and invasion.
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it [emphasis added]."
Regarding constitutionally enumerated limits on federal public safety responsibilities, note that the drafters had also made Article IV, Section 4 to require the feds to STAND DOWN to domestic violence unless a state formally requests federal assistance to help stop it.
"Article IV, Section 4 (4.4): The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphases added]."
So-called "federal" power to police environmental protections is simply not found in the widest interpretation of federal constitutional public safety responsibilities imo.
"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
Put Janet Yellen out to pasture. I’ll spring for a nice big garden bonnet for her.
“ Only the left would have the arrogance to say that spending month will change the weather. Only the left would believe such nonsense.”
Most Americans today run out of month before the end of the money.
