While Europe and the middle of North America are indeed really hot right now, most of the rest of the world is quite comfortable

 Before we let the Biden administration usurp the legislative branch's purview regarding climate policy, let's digest a few facts that Steven Milloy has helpfully presented at Real Clear Politics today:

The president apparently hopes to take advantage of the ongoing record-setting European heat wave and string of wildfires, and an ongoing heat wave in the U.S. Midwest. 

While it certainly is very hot in Europe and the Midwest, it is relatively cool elsewhere. The unfortunate reality for Biden’s planned exploitation is that today’s average global temperature per the University of Maine is a mere 0.2C warmer than the average from 1979-2000. It’s called “global warming,” and yet there’s really not much of that occurring. 

We also know that heat waves are not associated with carbon dioxide emissions. The frequency and intensity of heat waves has dramatically declined in the U.S. over the past 100 years despite ever-rising emissions, per the National Climate Assessment conducted by the Obama-Biden administration.

And although the media is trying to fan the flames of climate hysteria with images of Europe burning, the reality is that wildfires in Europe have been declining since the 1980s despite ever- increasing CO₂ emissions. 

And let’s not forget that despite lots of emissions over the years, June 2022 was cooler than June 2002 and there has been no global warming in seven years and 10 months. 

Climate alarmism has no basis in what's actually going on in the world. It's just another method of curbing freedom in the collectivist toolbox.
