UN Chief Antonio Guterres Raises the Bar for Climate Action: Urges Wealthy Nations to Achieve Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2040.
Recent Memo Urges Republicans to Dismiss UN’s “Alarmist Report” on Climate Change.
According to sources, a recent memo sent to every Republican member of Congress is calling for action against the United Nations’ recent “alarmist report” on climate change. The Competitive Enterprise Institute sent the memo, which offers a set of talking points to refute the UN’s findings and the Biden administration’s push to speed up the transition to renewable energy.
The memo also draws attention to three new developments and realities that Republicans should be aware of as the debate on climate change continues. In addition, sources report that U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently called on wealthy nations to accelerate their net-zero emissions goal from 2050 to 2040, further increasing pressure on lawmakers to take decisive action on climate change.
Republican Memo Calls Out “Alarmist” Climate Change Claims and Pushes Back Against Biden Administration’s Net-Zero Emissions Goal
A recent memo sent to every Republican member of Congress takes aim at the “alarmist” claims of those warning of catastrophic changes due to global warming. The memo argues that recent projections from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggest that global temperatures may have already peaked in 2015, undermining the notion that every emission has a linear effect on warming the planet.
The memo from the Competitive Enterprise Institute then calls into question the Biden administration’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, citing a recent report from the Energy Information Administration that suggests the administration will fall well short of this target. The memo urges caution in proceeding with expensive and potentially dangerous emissions cuts until these issues are resolved
In a revealing memo, it has come to light that both the electricity utility industry and the Biden administration have come clean – their goal to achieve ‘net zero by 2050’ is no longer feasible.
The memo, which was sent to lawmakers, doesn’t stop there. It highlights the numerous doomsday predictions related to climate change that were made since 1967, yet never came to fruition. These three critical points raised in the memo raise serious doubts about the rush to judgment on climate and the hasty dismantling of our energy grid. Read on to discover more about this groundbreaking memo and its implications.
As per the memo, “President Biden’s $1.2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act, passed last year, was hailed by supporters as the largest climate investment in history.”
House Republicans, armed with a new, narrow majority, are already chipping away at Biden’s clean energy agenda. As per the memo, “President Biden’s $1.2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act, passed last year, was hailed by supporters as the largest climate investment in history.”
As UN Secretary-General Guterres emphasized in March, “Our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once.” However, the House lawmakers have different plans as they passed a comprehensive energy bill last month that, according to them, “will lower costs for families and reverse burdensome regulations on the fossil fuel industry.”
This development raises critical questions about the US’s commitment to long-term sustainability, as it could come at the expense of immediate gains. The battle for clean energy policy, therefore, intensifies as House Republicans challenge the Biden administration’s ambitious climate investment plans.
