Biden to create Civilian Climate Corp (CCC) to fight global warming

[Breitbart] President Joe Biden plans to create a New Deal-style "Civilian Climate Corps" to mobilize "a new, diverse generation of patriotic Americans" for the battle against climate change.

On Wednesday, Biden unveiled a flurry of executive actions his administration planned to undertake to "tackle the climate crisis at home and abroad." The president, who campaigned for the White House last year on a platform "environmental justice," argued the actions were necessary if the United States had any hopes of leading a "global response" to the climate crisis.

"Just like we need a unified national response to Covid-19 [coronavirus], we desperately need a unified national response to the climate crisis because there is a climate crisis," Biden told reporters at the White House when signing the executive orders into effect.

To help implement the unified national response, Biden is proposing the creation of a civilian climate corps. The program, based on the poverty-relief programs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, will focus on employing individuals to work on energy-efficient infrastructure and conservation programs.

The "Civilian Climate Corps Initiative [will] put a new generation of Americans to work conserving and restoring public lands and waters, increasing reforestation, increasing carbon sequestration ... and addressing the changing climate," a policy brief prepared by the White House reads.

Last year, while running for the White House, Biden embraced the idea of a civilian climate corps. The proposal was one of several that came from a unity task force Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) set up after the conclusion of the Democratic presidential primaries. At the time, Biden also proposed spending upwards of $2 trillion dollars over his term in office to address climate change.

#5 Can he do that with an executive order, or does he need Congress to pass a law to create and fund it?

#7 With the Supreme Court in his pocket, he can do anything via Executive Order. Remember Obama issued a number of EO's which directly contradicted Federal Law. (DACA for example).

#8 Best way to fight global warming would be to bring our manufacturing back from China where they burn all that dirty brown coal without any scrubbers on the smoke stacks.

#9 Brilliant! I wish Trump had thought of this. Sign these idiots up to go around wiping cow's butts and plant trees. Pay them slave wages. Tell them they are saving the earth. Keep them off the streets and out of real jobs that matter. It's f*&king genius.

#11 You will need to replace your oil and gas heat and also your gas stove before 2022 and replace them with clean and green electric. No tax credit, though.

Grid can't handle the strain? Light a candle, sucker. No candles left? Tough noogie.

#12 To save Gia they should voluntarily take themselves out of the gene pool. Even better would be to stop producing Carbon Dioxide but that's a lot to ask of all but the most dedicated.
