Wyoming state Sen. Brian Boner on Monday said President Biden’s “extreme language” in stating global warming is a greater threat than nuclear war is absurd and doesn’t help to formulate sound energy policies.
Many people would likely agree that a nuclear holocaust is the greatest threat to the survivability of the human race, but President Joe Biden said Sunday that global warming is actually a greater concern.
The comments were made at a press conference in Hanoi, Vietnam. The president was talking about climate goals at the G20 Summit in India, a gathering of nations to discuss international economic cooperation.
“In addition to helping the environment overall — and the only existential threat humanity faces, even more frightening than a nuclear war, is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 20, 10 years. We’re — that’d be real trouble. There’s no way back from that,” Biden said…
“The mainstream media is happy to tear into the global boiling comment from Guterrez, which was really bad — it was equally bad. But they did not report what Biden said because it’s so stupid,” Steve Milloy, an adjunct analyst with Competitive Enterprise Institute who served on the EPA transition team for the Trump administration, told Cowboy State Daily…
Milloy said that carbon emissions have doubled since 1988, and none of the claims of catastrophe came to pass. This hasn’t led to any hesitation in making dire predictions to push for urgent action.
“They’ve never been right about anything,” Milloy said.
Milloy pointed to Stanford University Professor Paul Ehrlich as an example. In his 1968 book The Population Bomb, Ehrlich predicted global famines and societal upheaval if population continued to rise.
