Below, environmentalist Zan Dubin, whom I highly respect, makes a point not too dissimilar to what I’ve often said about the failure of the media to cover Biden’s accomplishments, especially those pertaining to climate change mitigation and adaptation. She writes:
A small minority of Americans know about the historic contribution the Biden Admin has made to fighting climate change. Please take one fact here and keep talking about it. Here are some juicy points:
In his first term, Joe Biden has done more to address climate change than any President before him. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) alone is expected to wipe out 21 billion tons of planet-warming pollution between now and 2050. For comparison, that’s 73 times more emissions than the infamous Willow Project will emit over the same period. It’s like canceling out the emissions from the entire country of India for a decade.
Trump talked a lot about bringing manufacturing back to America and creating blue-collar jobs. But under Biden, manufacturing investment has grown faster than at any time in recent history thanks largely to the IRA. During Trump’s presidency, manufacturing spending grew by 5%. Under Biden, it has grown by 279%.
For decades, environmental advocates have tried to convince lawmakers to pass even the most marginal climate policies. And they’ve failed. It wasn’t until Biden took office that the logjam broke and the climate policies flowed. Since then, America has experienced remarkable progress.

What does the most affluent state in America need in its next governor? I’m pretty sure it not a Trump supporter.

Yes, we have traffic, which we hate.  But that’s because everybody and his dog wants to be here for our economic opportunities and our natural beauty.

In general, we reject racism, ignorance, corruption, and environmental destruction.

I can’t swear that the content of the meme here is accurate; in fact, most affluent Scandinavians I run across admit that they pay higher taxes than Americans.

They claim that the attraction is that they aren’t forced to live among uneducated slobs where people are dying of treatable diseases with masses of impoverished people living on the streets.

Isn’t there something to be said for that?
