Visit Not An Excuse To Declare So-Called “Climate Emergency”

Washington, D.C. - As President Joe Biden leaves vacation and travels to Maui today, Power The Future is urging him to ignore pleas from activists about leveraging the crisis and declaring a so-called “climate emergency.” These demands from the left have intensified after Biden’s bizarre statement to the Weather Channel that he had “practically” already done so.

“For Joe Biden to look upon the suffering of the people of Hawaii as an opportunity to push his failed climate agenda is abhorrent,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Biden may vacation in the home of a billionaire climate donor, but he works for the American people and we’re tired of a President who puts his agenda before facts. No President, not even Joe Biden, should use a real disaster that has claimed the lives of more than 100 people to declare a political emergency.”

Prior to his trip to Hawaii, President Biden was reportedly staying at billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer’s home in Nevada. On Friday, Biden senior climate advisor John Podesta blamed the Maui disaster on climate change even though current evidence suggests the fire was started from electrical lines and may have been made worse by prioritizing climate electrical transitions supported by Biden and the decision to withhold water from firefighters over concerns about “equity.”
