NY Times Seems Upset That GOP Convention Isn’t All About Climate Doom

I wonder how much about ‘climate change’ will be at the DNC? I’m sure it will be mentioned, but, I’m betting it will mostly be about Trump. Though, the DNC will surely include some speeches about taking reliable, affordable, dependable fossil fuels from the peasants

At the Republican National Convention, Climate Change Isn’t a Problem

The United States is experiencing scorching new levels of heat fueled by climate change this summer, with dozens of people dying in the West, millions sweating under heat advisories and nearly three-quarters of Americans saying the government must prioritize global warming.

But as the Republican Party opens its national convention in Milwaukee with a prime-time focus on energy on Monday night, the party has no plan to address climate change.

While some Republicans no longer deny the overwhelming scientific consensus that the planet is warming because of human activity, party leaders do not see it as a problem that needs to be addressed.

“I don’t know that there is a Republican approach to climate change as an organizing issue,” said Thomas J. Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, a conservative research group focused on energy. “I don’t think President Trump sees reducing greenhouse gases, using the government to do so, as an imperative.”

No, we really don’t, especially since the Democrats version of Doing Something is mostly all about implementing government control over citizens while removing their freedom and life choices.

The party platform, issued last week, makes no mention of climate change. Instead, it encourages more production of oil, gas and coal, the burning of which is dangerously driving up global temperatures. “We will DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” it says, referring to oil as “liquid gold.”

It really should mention implementing next generation nuclear power stations, and spending on research for true clean alternatives.

By contrast, Mr. Biden has taken the most aggressive action of any president to cut emissions from coal, oil and gas and encourage a transition to wind, solar and other carbon-free energy. He has directed every federal agency from the Agriculture Department to the Pentagon to consider how climate change is affecting their core missions.

Weirdly, the Times fails to mention the vast amounts of fossil fuels Biden uses every week with all his limos, helicopter, and airplanes. Nor the huge number of people who will be taking fossil fueled trips to Chicago for the DNC.
