Fox Business – The Bottom Line w/ Dagen McDowell & Sean Duffy – Broadcast April 19, 2024 – White House weighs declaring a national climate emergency: Climate Depot executive editor Marc Morano reacts to President Biden reportedly planning to block millions of acres in Alaska from oil and gas drilling on ‘The Bottom Line.’
Sean Duffy: Here now reaction, ClimateDepot.com, executive editor Marc Morano. Marc, good to see you so. As we talk about Joe Biden taking millions of acres out of exploration in Alaska. …
Marc Morano: They are doing everything possible to make our country more expensive to live in, disrupt supply chains, create inflation, harm economic growth, and impact our national security. In addition to just the obvious oil and gas drilling limits, this affects a copper mine access road that would have helped us directly compete with China, which has record copper production and is now a top-three country in the world with its copper Mining. The Republic of Congo is number four, which China largely dominates. And the Biden administration’s going after the rare Earth mining, oil, gas, at the same time, they’re claiming it’s all for the climate. The climate’s not going to notice one bit, but this is going to hammer Americans. I can’t imagine, other than cheap politics for their environmental base, why they thought this was a good idea six months before the presidential election. …
Dagen McDowell: Do these dumb asses know that an oil derrick here is the same as an oil derrick over there when it comes to well emissions and the climate because? It’s called global warming, not national warming, you deep dongs.
Marc Morano: Well, it’s even worse than that because if we’re outsourcing now to these other nations in the Middle East or Venezuela, the Biden administrations beg them for more oil, and whether it’s the Mining from China, they have lower environmental standards, lower human rights, so it’s actually not only are. We are outsourcing our emissions to virtue signal and say we meet our climate goals. Instead, we’re actually raising global emissions, much higher than they would have been had we done the energy production here in the United States — It takes half a million pounds of materials to make one 1000 pound EV battery. By shutting down oil and gas and shutting down this exploration of copper in Alaska, we just made energy a lot more expensive and made the U.S. much more reliant on China. Donald Trump’s 2000 2012 tweet about climate change benefiting China comes true every single day.
Sean Duffy: The White House told Fox Business that it is now considering declaring a national ‘climate emergency.’ If the President declares a climbing emergency, what impact would that have?
Marc Morano: This is the serious story of the day. NBC News has reported that if Joe Biden declared a national climate emergency, he would have COVID-like powers under that emergency and NBC also compared the climate emergency powers to the 911 emergency powers. The Center for Biological Diversity has estimated Joe Biden would get about 130 wartime-like powers by which to bypass democracy and impose the Green New Deal on America without a single vote of Congress. This is truly a Halloween story, not a story for Earth Day. This is a truly frightening story, and he might just be desperate enough to declare it.
This is being widely reported in the media. The Biden White House is leaking this out. This might happen, and it is going to give Joe Biden these kind — you want to say the words dictatorial powers. He doesn’t need no stinking democracy to impose the Green New Deal if he does this.
Dagen McDowell: Marc Morano, thank you so much.

Background:
2023: Watch: NBC News: ‘Biden urged to declare climate change a national emergency’ – ‘Can unlock special powers for a president in a crisis without needing approval from Congress’ – Similar to COVID & 9/11 Emergency Powers
Hallie Jackson of NBC – Aug. 22, 2023: “So what would that even do? Declaring an emergency can unlock special powers for a president in a crisis without needing approval from Congress, thanks to a law passed nearly 50 years ago. Since then, every President has declared at least one emergency during their time in office. Former President Trump for example, signing one in the pandemic. Former President George W. Bush declaring one after 911.”

Biden Admin Announces Massive Restrictions On Alaskan Oil Reserve And Hampers Key Mining Project In One Fell Swoop – The Department of the Interior (DOI) finalized a plan that will restrict future oil leasing and development on about half of the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A), an area in the state’s north approximately the size of Indiana first designated by former President Warren Harding as an emergency source of fuel for the U.S. Navy, according to Bloomberg News. The DOI also moved to all but shoot down the Ambler Access Project, a previously-approved proposal for a mining company to build a 211-mile long road needed to mine copper reserves potentially worth billions of dollars.
