Deputy secretary of energy can't answer Senator John Kennedy's climate questions
Senator John Kennedy asked David Turk, Biden's deputy secretary of energy, how much the temperature would go down if we got to carbon neutral, and the senior bureaucrat wouldn't or couldn't answer. He tap-danced around like a twenty-first-century version of Mr. Bojangles.
The correct answer is zero. Temperatures will continue to fluctuate, as they have for billions of years, no matter what we do.
The policy has always been about controlling us and confiscating more money for themselves and supporters — nothing else. They claim that it is to control the climate, but that is BS. Less than fifty years ago, they were warning us of a disastrous ice age while CO2 was rising.
"If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?"

Biden official: It's going to cost trillions of dollars. There's no doubt about it.⁰⁰

Me: So, if the U.S. spent $50T to become carbon neutral by 2050, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?⁰⁰
