Okay, I’ll bite. In a way, his earlier speeches gave some people, mostly Trump haters, hope. One member who is presently “on vacation” wrote that Biden will unify the country and I think that he honestly believed that. Some hard liners still believe that even though the evidence points otherwise. Taxes are up. Gas prices among other things are up. Racism or at least, the media’s portrayal of racism is much worse, our standing with he rest of the world is, from all indications, worse or at least as bad as it was during the cold war. I could go on but that wouldn’t be sticking to the basics of the thread. There is one definitive thing that Biden has done well for the American people and that is when he left the Trump administration’s plan for Covid vaccinations alone. Granted, Biden says it was his plan all along but historically speaking, it wasn’t.
From what I have been watching on the news, the American people are in a better place with regards to covid and vaccinations as compared to your fellow north Americans across the border. Even if it wasn't his plan, he is now in office and much has been accomplished. He is actively participating in climate change and his policies make sense. What I did not understand was his comments on the Floyd case. It seemed he was trying to please someone
Yeah, but putting a couple hundred thousand people out of work shouldn’t have been a part of it. Added to that, with no chance of the pipeline going into full operation we have more across country shipping of oil which takes more oil products to ship in the form of diesel whilst throwing a ton of exhaust fumes into the atmosphere. And, if just one truck full of oil gets into a wreck then there goes a bunch of the eco system that will surround that spill. In short, whilst he may be trying to do something about climate change, he nor anyone on his staff thought things through.
The latest thing that I have read , is that he essentially wants to make all Americans vegans, or at least very close to it, while destroying the ranchers and farmers. The climate change recommendation was for a person to eat no more than 4 lbs of red meat a year, an estimate of cutting meat-eating by about 90%, and other meats by 50%. While I have no problem with whether a person wants to eat meat, or not eat meat, I think that this should be a personal decision, and not a government mandate. Putting cattle ranchers and probably dairy farmers out of work is not all that this will do. Most of the grains (oats, corn, barley) are for animal feed, so if meat production was wiped out, all of the farmers would lose most of their business as well.
Cause and effect.. Meat and dairy specifically accounts for around 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). If the world is to meet its target of limiting global warming to “well below” 2C, some degree of diet shift will be necessary, scientists say. If it is to strive for the most optimistic target of keeping warming to 1.5C, changes to diet may be even more crucial. Cows and sheep are “ruminants” – meaning that their stomachs contain specialised bacteria capable of digesting tough and fibrous material, such as grass. The digestive process causes the animals to belch out methane, a greenhouse gas that is around 28-34 times more powerful than CO2 over a 100-year period. Cows take longer to grow and reproduce, meaning the production of beef requires much more feed and land than other types of meat. The conversion of land for beef production and animal feed is a leading cause of deforestation in many tropical regions, including in the Amazon, where a recent spike in forest fires and clearing has been linked to cattle ranching. Eating beef raised on grain produced in the Amazon is like coal-fuelled power plants – the worst thing one could possibly do.
The plans on destroying the world the CO2 is needed for plant growth and some green houses need to pump in CO2 for their plants. Carbon like mineral are being recycled through the environment every day and mother earth will stabilize the the environment when there is a lot of CO2 they growth oth plants increases and when it goes down the plants die off. It takes time for dead trees and large plants to decompose so the next generation of plants can use the minerals enter the animals who eat the plants and brake down the matter into food for the plants.
The exact number of jobs eliminated as a result of an executive order to halt the pipeline's construction remained unknown. TC Energy released a statement on Jan. 20 condemning the decision to halt construction with the below-displayed headline and subhead. The release said thousands of jobs would be “impacted” — not eliminated or lost — without elaborating further. In sum, despite the fact that project leaders anticipated filling 11,000 positions in 2021, there was no evidence to definitively prove that, or that positions (either permanent or temporary construction jobs or indirect employment opportunities) were lost as a result of Biden’s order in addition to the more than 1,000 jobs the Keystone XL and LIUNA presidents said were eliminated. For those reasons, it has been rated that this claim is a “Mixture” of truthful, misleading, and unproven information.
So, you’re saying that the initial 18,000 base jobs that entailed actually working on the pipeline weren’t lost? And with that, all the manufacturers of parts that were ordered were not lost either even though they’re sitting on some platform ready to be delivered? The list can go on and on and the only thing that I can see in any documentation is that the administration has skewed the public ready information to be viewed in a favorable way. And, if no jobs were lost then why did Joe say that those who lost their jobs can get other jobs making solar panels?
I will guarantee the Chinese will not become vegan, as they are the biggest pork consumers on the planet. Biden probably wants to ensure THEIR meat supply by shipping the grain produced here to feed pigs in Asia. The dairy industry would just be "collateral damage". I tend to put everything that Biden does into a Chinese light, as they very clearly own him and his administration, just as they did the Clintons.
There is a kernel of truth in what experts call the co2 fertilization effect on plants, however this argument is explained in detail in the following. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ask-the-experts-does-rising-co2-benefit-plants1/
