Biden Pledges to Make Climate Change Action Irreversible by Later Presidents
Newsweak ^ | 7/14/20 | James Walker

Joe Biden has pledged to take action on climate change that would be "impossible" for a future president to reverse should he beat President Donald Trump in the November election.

The former vice president told renewable energy industry executives on a fundraising call Monday night he would put down "such a marker" on climate change it would be "impossible for the next president to turn it around."

He added that the climate crisis was the "most sweeping crisis of all," adding that it had an impact on other crises facing the U.S., including the coronavirus pandemic and the related economic downturn.

Speaking about his plan for tackling climate change, Biden said: "God willing I win and even if I serve eight years, I want to make sure we put down such a marker that it's impossible for the next president to turn it around."

**SNIP**

Earlier in the call, hosted by Wind Rose Energy founder Tom Carnahan and Lazard senior adviser Mike Skelly, the Democratic nominee addressed existing climate change policy targets, saying 2050 felt "a million years from now" to most people."

A simple Executive Order (by a Democrat) can be as permanent as a Constitutional Amendment. Just ask John Roberts.

Grandpa Joe tells the truth. When a democrat uses his pen and his phone, the Courts have rules that a republican cannot reverse that with a pen and a phone.

is not the constitution the highest law of the USA?

and are there not provisions within the constitution for changing it?

so what joe is talking about is subverting the change mechanism of the constitution itself— on, of all things, the environment, something that isn’t in the constitution anywhere to begin with...

Once the left sets what is going to the big lie, nothing is going to change their narrative.

Something about the rat party encourages extended adolescence.

I was 16 the last time I thought such cr@p might be true. It’s sad to see seniors fall for it.

Joe has big words from a guy whose IQ is smaller than his shoe size.

Absurd. Joe Biden will go down as a joke, if American History is still recorded and taught in the future.

Trumps gotta hit the note, in the coming months, that with Democrats it’s crisis crisis crisis.

Who did not see this coming? CJ Roberts ... and his lack of judicial self-control. I’ll get banned from the board if I tell you what I really think of him. Maybe someday I’ll write a book about the real damage bad Supreme Court decisions have done to this country. It’s quite staggering.

IIRC, Harry Reid tried to do the same thing on other legislation - word some legislation so that no one could undo it later down the line.

Shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

And someone pointed out on twitter that Joe doesn’t have a logo or anything other than generic signs.

Are they going to pull a switcheroo?

According to a pool report from the fundraiser,

Without footage and audio of Joe, I'm skeptical it was live or even Biden.

This guy should be in a retirement home, not being subject to elder abuse.

As long as there is a STCOTUS* majority, Demonicrat treason will be supported.

Bernie Biden.

A cynical attempt at grabbing Bernie supporters.

Biden is grabbing at the same issues that derailed Bernie’s campaign in the primaries. Have at it Joe.

He probably imagines himself in coronation robes at his ‘inauguration’.

What a dufus!
