Guy Who Takes Lots Of Fossil Fueled Trips Calls Manmade Climate Change Denial “Dumb”

This same guy took two trips in a large, fossil fueled, low MPG limo, surrounded by lots of fossil fueled vehicles for protection Tuesday. On Monday he took many fossil fueled trips. On Saturday many fossil fueled flights in a jumbo jet, trailed by a backup jumbo jet and fighter jets, and the same on Friday. Who knows what he’ll do today

Biden Calls Climate Denial ‘Dumb,’ Announces New Heat Protections for Workers

President Biden on Tuesday called denying the effects of climate change “really, really dumb” and said that extreme heat and other weather disasters fueled by rising global temperatures have cost billions of dollars and thousands of American lives.

“Ignoring climate change is deadly and dangerous and irresponsible,” Mr. Biden said. He warned that temperatures have already shattered records this summer, and are expected to climb, as he proposed new protections for workers exposed to dangerous heat on the job.

Mr. Biden spoke at the District of Columbia’s emergency operations center, where he and cabinet officials were briefed on extreme weather developments across the country. His remarks were some of the most forceful he’s given on climate change, and he used the moment to denounce Republican lawmakers who oppose his policies.

“How can you deny climate change for God’s sake? Mr. Biden said. “They must be living in a hole somewhere.”

“Anyone who willfully denies the impacts of climate change is condemning the American people to a dangerous future and either is really, really dumb or has some other motive,” he said.

Almost no one is denying that the Earth is warming. The debate is on causation. Let me ask: if a person really believes in something but refuses to practice what they preach, are they dumb? If you doctor tells you that you need to lose weight and stop smoking, yet, is clearly overweight and smells like cigarettes, are they dumb? I actually switched doctors because of that exact situation. Is a physical fitness trainer dumb if they are clearly overweight? If they’re just talking about muscle and clearly have some, I’ll listen. I’ll help people on weights, but, not losing weight, since I’m bad at that. If someone tells you we’re doomed from the activities of Mankind making the planet too hot but do everything exactly opposite to save the Earth per their talking points, do you listen? Aren’t they the dumb ones?

Biden’s carbon footprint has to be one of the biggest in the world. He flies to and from Delaware most of his weekends in office.

The regulation, if implemented, would for the first time require employers to monitor workers and provide rest areas and water when the heat index reaches 80 degrees or higher. Employers would also be required to establish heat safety plans. The rule could apply to about 35 million Americans who work both indoors and outdoors. (snip)

The proposed heat rule is already facing opposition from industry groups that say it would drive up costs and would be cumbersome to administer. Opponents have indicated they intend to challenge the legality of the rule as soon as it is implemented, possibly late this year.

Under what duly passed law does this rule come from? Under what authority? I’m not necessarily against it (though 80 is silly, unless you live in Alaska and aren’t used to it), but, is there statutory authority, or, just more Executive Branch overreach? Too bad the elected GOP just do not have the cajones to introduce and vote on a bill that would require Biden to only travel in EVs, and no taxpayer funded flights except for official business.
