Biden Joins Pope Francis in Backing Malthusian ‘Climate Change’ Lie

Dec. 31, 2019 (EIRNS)—Presidential candidate Joe Biden has apparently given up on his middle of the road (‘possum) position and gone all the way on climate change. At a campaign event in Peterborough, New Hampshire yesterday, Biden pledged to eliminate all fossil fuel use by 2030. “We have to set sort of guide rails down now,” he said, “so between the years 2021 and 2030, it’s irreversible ... the path we set ourselves on. And one of which is doing away with any substance for fossil fuels.” To enforce this on executives of energy companies, he threatened, “When they don’t want to deliver, put them in jail. I’m not joking about this.” Which left some wondering, whether he had forgotten that his son Hunter, whom he has gone out of his way to defend against corruption charges, had been an oil company executive himself.

Biden, who claims to be a practicing Catholic, although a number of parishes have banned him from receiving communion due to his support for abortion, points to his faith as the basis for his commitment to a new Dark Age. On his campaign website, he cites Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ (largely written by Malthusian John Schellnhuber, CBE) for instructing him on his approach to climate change. Given the massive reduction in energy availability that his policy demands, his pledge to “create 10 million good-paying jobs in the United States” with “every dollar spent towards rebuilding infrastructure ... used to prevent, reduce, and withstand a changing climate” is as credible as fairy dust.
