Two thoughts on this.
First. You are spot on about the desperate state of the Climate Crisis.
All of the hard physical data we are gathering indicates our models were biased towards underestimating the effects of increasing CO2 levels. All of the hard physical data indicates we were off by about 40%.
All of the hard physical data we have gathered, says our climate models were “timid”. We have been fooling ourselves.
What’s about to happen isn’t going to be a “Climate Disaster” it’s going to be a “Climate Apocalypse”. We are going to 4C by 2100, possibly as early as 2080.
China and Russia have realized the Climate Models are off and how bad things are about to get. They are making “endgame moves” because they think that the endgame has started.
In 2020 the GMT was an “observable” 1.2C warmer than it was in 1880, the hottest year of the 19th century. It took about 140 years for the Earth’s GMT to increase that 1.2C.
We are on track to get another 1.0C of warming over the next 30 years.
Second. You and the other "Biden Critics" don't seem to have an F'ing clue what you are seeing. You are badly misreading the situation.
Don't think so?
Let me ask you a question.
Do you remember the weirdness in Portland that Summer during the BLM riots?
From my day notes.
July 25, 2020
The news this week has been at a surreal level of dystopian scariness. American citizens have been snatched off the street by men in paramilitary uniforms, forced into unmarked vans, and hauled away.
Without probable cause, without identification by the men kidnapping them (because it was not an arrest, detaining someone in this fashion is by definition kidnapping), without advisement of their Miranda rights, without any of the due process of law that supposedly distinguishes the US from a police state or third world dictatorship.
When did ICE and CBP build an army that’s under the personal control of the President?
Who authorized this?
Where did the money to pay their salaries, train, and equip them come from?
How many of them are there?
How long has this been going on and why did anyone think these units were necessary?
The implications of these units are deeply disturbing, and their existence should be a major topic of discussion in the upcoming election. The Republicans need to be called to account for this and DHS needs to be purged of everyone involved in this proto-Gestapo.
Because what it looks like to me, is that they are doing unit shakedowns in anticipation of needing to do post-election riot suppression.
HAVE ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS BEEN ANSWERED?
Then came the BLM demonstrations in DC. My wife's idiot niece went to a bunch of them. Kids think they're invincible.
Anyway, do you remember all those ICE, CBP, and we now know, paramilitary dudes "standing guard" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The ones with no unit badges or identification on their uniforms.
They broke the law doing that BTW, by law they are required to wear identification. Because we don't want men in unmarked uniforms snatching people off the street. We have laws about that.
Who were those men?
Who in ICE and CBP authorized their deployment?
Who in ICE and CBP authorized them to deploy without identification, and why?
Again no answers.
Biden took over in the middle of a pandemic and has lurched from crisis to crisis. So it's easy to miss that none of these questions have been answered.
We tend to think of the federal agencies as neutral. That was true when we were young. Not now.
Bush II destroyed the professional bureaucracy. Articles like this were common.
New GAO Report Exposes More About Politicization of Department of Justice Under Bush
The takeover of the Federal agencies has been on going since then. Early on in Trump's term he did the "Muslim Ban". A lawsuit was filed immediately and as normal the Federal Agencies all said they would wait until the courts ruled before doing anything.
Not ICE and CBP.
They demonstrated their loyalty, not just to Trump, to the Republican Party. They implemented immediately.
They have been captured by the Republicans.
This happened a couple of weeks ago.
Ed Gonzalez, Biden’s Long-Stalled Nominee to Lead ICE, Withdraws
The narrative is that his 14-month nomination was ensnared by immigration politics and allegations of domestic abuse. The reality is that the Trumpublicans have been completely able to block Democratic oversight and control of ICE.
Biden hasn't been able to regain control of ICE, CBP, or Homeland Security. He barely has control of the FBI, a lot of offices are actively hostile and "investigating" things like Hunter Biden's laptop.
Biden is struggling because there is a war being fought in the Federal Agencies. Some of them are actively working against him.
Biden wasn't supposed to win the election.
If it hadn't been for Covid, Trump was on the glide path to a second term. What Biden got was a bunch of Federal agencies packed with Trumpublican zealots expecting a second Trump term.
The military didn't go over for Trump on J6 but a bunch of them were ready to. Over 1200 officers with ranks of colonel or higher have resigned their commissions or retired since J6. Milley has been cleaning house.
A lot is going on under the surface. We are in a state of civil war.
Biden is literally in the same place Lincoln was, plus he cannot be open about what's happening because we are having a foreign policy crisis at the same time. We are at war with China and right now we are losing.
Courtesy of Trump.
You might want to give Biden a little more respect. The man is carrying a killing weight right now. He's trying to save the country.
