Covid Emergency, Climate Emergency: Same Thing<\/a><\/h3>\n

I am always happy to welcome new content from\u00a0The Brownstone Institute<\/a>, one of the last few beacons of common sense left in the world.<\/p>\n

This week they published a new piece on how, as the Covid emergency fades away, the\u00a0climate emergency\u00a0<\/em>is becoming prominent. After lamenting the rights that were taken from citizens during the Covid emergency, the article looks at exactly what superpowers the government would get in declaring a climate emergency. You guessed it: more power to ram through ways for government to micromanage your life, interfere with the economy and – best of all – further the Keynesian nightmare by\u00a0printing and spend\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>as many U.S. dollars as they want without consequences.<\/p>\n

I reached out to the publication last year and requested permission to share their content when I enjoy it, in full, with my readers, which they kindly granted. If you\u2019re interested in the topic – or simply just having a grasp on the objective truth – I believe it is a \u201cmust read\u201d.<\/p>\n

The article is written by W. Aaron Vandiver, a writer, former litigator, and wildlife conservationist. He is the author of the novel, Under a Poacher\u2019s Moon. Photographic annotations have been added by QTR.<\/p>\n

In February 2022, 1,140 organizations sent President Biden\u00a0a letter<\/a>\u00a0urging him to declare a \u201cclimate emergency.\u201d A\u00a0group of US Senators<\/a>\u00a0did the same, in October 2022, and a\u00a0House bill<\/a>, introduced in 2021, also called on the president to \u201cdeclare a national climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden has\u00a0considered declaring such an emergency<\/a>, but so far he has declined, to the disappointment of many progressives.<\/p>\n
