Alert: Biden Plots Declaring 'National Climate Emergency' Granting Him Sweeping Powers Ahead of Election

The White House is reportedly considering declaring a national climate emergency to empower President Joe Biden to take broad executive action to address what it deems a crisis. It’s not the first time the administration has floated the move.

In July 2022 when Biden’s Build Back Better legislative proposal, which included $500 billion in green initiatives, was stymied in Congress, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters a climate emergency declaration could be forthcoming.

“I would not plan an announcement this week on a national climate emergency,” she said, but “everything is on the table.”
