Biden and the cult of climate change are beholden to an uncaring China

Even in the face of repudiation from the Democratic-controlled Senate, President Joe Biden continues to embrace the climate cult and the Chinese Communist Party apologia that comes with it.
Biden had signed an executive order removing tariffs on Chinese solar products imported from other Asian countries. Nine Senate Democrats joined 47 Republicans in voting to reinstate those tariffs. That list included swing-state Democrats from Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, both senators from Pennsylvania, and even Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), none of whom could ever be accused of conservatism.
Biden doesn’t care. He and the Democratic Party’s climate cult have hitched their wagon to China, regardless of the country’s predatory trade practices and use of slave labor. All that matters is that the green energy industry can get its Chinese goods for cheap so that we can pretend to fight climate change even as increased Chinese coal use undermines whatever emissions reductions the rest of the world achieves.
Biden’s urge to placate China on this issue should hang over every comment Biden and his team make about climate change. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm praised China’s “progress” on climate change earlier this year, and Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, has said that human rights concerns with the CCP should take a backseat to climate cooperation, even though China is actively engaged in slavery and genocide.
Meanwhile, China has not made any “progress” other than worthless promises. Even those are few and far between. In 2021, the country “basically didn’t show up” with any climate change commitments ahead of the U.N. climate conference. That was according to Biden himself. In fact, over the last few years, China has embraced coal, heavily increasing its coal capacity while the rest of the world cuts back on it.
Biden’s buddy-buddy relationship with China on climate change gets us some (probably slave-made) solar panels and an increase in carbon emissions. Now that’s what you call a bargain.

Not only that, but Biden has also promised to funnel billions in taxpayer dollars to the United Nations for its “Green Climate Fund” and for “climate reparations,” money that China would be eligible for because the United Nations still incredibly considers it a “developing country.” China, of course, has refused to commit to paying into the climate reparations plan, despite being the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitter.
The climate cult that has taken hold of the Democratic Party, including every part of the Biden administration, has sold its soul to China in exchange for some solar panels and a few promises that the Chinese will never keep. Biden is beholden to those hysterical climate activists, and he continues to placate China at every turn on their behalf.
