President Biden and Speaker Johnson are locked in a global fight over LNG exports and climate change

Enough with the nonsense, let’s ban LNG exports now.

We told you a week or two ago about fossil fueled fascist House Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan to repeal President Biden’s pause on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports in exchange for aiding Ukraine. MAGA Mike is still trying to head off an insurrection from inside his own fossil fascist caucus. But there is a simpler …

fossil fascist speaker Mike Johnson has a dirty, dumb idea for LNG

Fossil Fueled Fascists in the House have a dirty, dumb idea for LNG

House Speaker Mike Johnson has been facing pressure to call a vote on urgently-needed aid to Ukraine. But extremists in his own caucus have already filed a “motion to vacate” his speakership if he brings the Senate’s bipartisan Ukraine aid package up for a vote. So this weekend, Speaker Johnson went on Fox news to …

Quick Feb 9 update – Video report below but the quick synopsis is this: Manchin and his friends held their hearing Thursday morning, but we made sure it did not go quietly.

Pope Francis Joe Biden fire earth meme

Pope Francis is right, it’s time to stop burning fossil fuels.

Pope Francis has written another good and timely encyclical calling the catholic faithful and all people of good moral conscience to action on climate change. Since it’s a Sunday we thought we’d share it – you can read it here and I endorse this summary of it by David Wallace Wells. And while it’s always …

Tell President Biden to declare a climate emergency

Leading in the wrong direction: Tell President President Biden to declare climate an emergency & stop all new fossil fuels

This week, President Biden’s Department of Energy announced that US exports of crude oil set a new record high — averaging 3.99 million barrels per day (b/d). It’s the most oil we’ve exported, ever, since the crude oil export ban was lifted in 2015. Coincidentally (or not), ExxonMobil announced it is acquiring a major rival …

Biden Declare a climate emergency

Practically nothing – Biden still hasn’t declared a climate emergency

In case you missed it – President Biden gave an interview to the Weather Channel, released yesterday, in which he first seemed to forget whether he’d declared a climate emergency, and then when asked to clarify if he has issued an emergency declaration, Biden said: “Practically speaking, yes.” This is a lie. Biden has not …
