Time for Biden to Play Hardball

OK, I changed from “man up” to “play hardball”

I wrote a research paper on global warming back in 1994 in a College History of Technology class. My conclusion: wait 20 years to see if the climate scienitsts’’ theory of the boomerang curve on global temperatures come true. As it turns out, the boomerang curve prediction was pretty much on the money. Conclusion now: man made global warming is an INCONTROVERTIBLE FACT. It would be an amazing coincidence if it is just the”natural variance in weather”. In addition, now 99.9% of scientists are convinced man made global warming is real. END OF DEBATE. YOU CAN NOT DISPUTE THE FACTS.
It is time for Biden to turn up the heat, with arm twisting, a media blitz, and following through on his legislation. This is the biggest crisis of our time. Time for him to play hardball and jam a finger in the faces of the GOPpers, corporations, and the global warming FACT deniers. The gloves should come off NOW!

LBJ did a lot of arm twisting to get the Civil Rights Act enacted. Also, the push for action should be more intense, more organized, and better orchestrated. He should make a speech on live television about this.

I think their arms can get twisted. A media blitz won’t hurt either. And remind the GOP that history will judge them rather harshly if they refuse. Then it’s on to China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Russia.

This is being treated as just another issue. I know Biden is trying, but I just am not getting enough from the press about it. He should have a media blitz, including having a speech on live prime time TV. The stakes are high
