There is no limit to the lethal ends to which McCarthy and the GOP gang will go as reported by TC in WHY THE GOP WANTS TO GUT THE IRA.
Here's the other side:
BIDEN IS TAKING mccarthy & the gang TO THE CLEANERS!
FACT SHEET: President Biden to Catalyze Global Climate …
2 days ago — The Inflation Reduction Act contains new and expanded tax credits for drivers to purchase new clean vehicles, as well as the first-ever tax …
'The President will be joined by other leaders in new efforts aimed at accelerating progress in four key areas necessary for keeping a 1.5°C limit on warming within reach, specifically:
___Decarbonizing energy: Announcing steps to drive down emissions in the power and transportation sectors, including scaling up of clean energy, setting ambitious 2030 zero-emission vehicle goals, and decarbonizing international shipping.
___Ending deforestation of the Amazon and other critical forests: Working through the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership to mobilize public, private, and philanthropic support.
____Tackling potent, non-CO2 climate pollutants: Launching a Methane Finance Sprint to cut methane emissions and accelerating hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) phasedown under the Kigali Amendment.
_____Advancing carbon management: Partnering with countries to accelerate carbon capture, removal, use, and storage technologies through a COP 28 Carbon Management Challenge to deal with emissions that can’t otherwise be avoided.
I had to throw out the Italian friend from upstairs yesterday when he started bloviating with his version of the new-ish Right-wing "talking point" that Biden is "the worst president in history." his presence was, as they say, '"terminated with extreme prejudice." there's no end to the bullshit these guys manage to generate. not unlike actual bulls.
Biden is taking crucial steps in addressing Climate Catastrophe. Another step:
' U.S. has inventoried old-growth forests. Will protection be next?
The report is the federal government’s first estimate of America’s oldest trees. Environmentalists hope it is a step for protecting them from logging.'
'The findings, the result of a year-long review ordered last year by President Biden, are likely to inflame tensions with the timber industry over which forests — especially those in the western United States — should remain unlogged. But they are energizing many conservation activists, including those who argue that old-growth forests are vital for storing carbon dioxide that contributes to climate change' (WAPO) Gifted link below.
This is long overdue - when old-growth forests are cut down for lumber, they are replaced with the typical commercial mono-species planted forests, losing the diversity that comes form having many different types of trees and undergrowth to support a diverse fauna as well.....
Biden gets a lot of points from me as he should from all of us on the side of democracy. He has accomplished an astounding bunch of good stuff with razor-thin margins in Congress - FDR and LBJ had much larger margins in their Congressional Houses than Smokin' Joe. But - he is too wedded to bipartisanship when the other side has no interest at all, and he is also too wedded to the filibuster and other Senatorial traditions that now are used only to stop him from succeeding. And we need to send Ukraine enough ATACMS missiles to take down the Kerch Strait bridge - if the Ukrainians cannot block that bridge, they cannot take Crimea, and that is crucial for Ukraine's future. Not dozens of them, but enough to drop that bridge and give Ukraine a chance to win.
Now reading this, Fern, makes me smile again and realize THERE IS HOPE. If only the Dems could stay working on these projects before R's get in power again and destroy all the hard work going into this. It just doesn't make sense.

What a different world we would live in if MAGAts became extinct
That's why I am fine with them all catching Covid. They're "out-dying" us 3:1.
Best pres in my lifetime!
Yes, certainly the most effective since LBJ (taking away Vietnam).
when I got the notification of this comment in my email, I thought it was mine! Exactly the way I feel.

So, Biden wins some points from you. Is that so, Bruce?
