Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, is no “moderate” on climate issues. On the contrary, she appears to be a climate extremist focused on pushing the destructive green agenda on Americans.
According to the Harris-Walz campaign’s policy page, the Democratic nominee promises to “unite Americans to tackle the climate crisis … [and] secure clean air and water for all.” The page touted how Harris, during her tenure as California attorney general, “won tens of millions in settlements against Big Oil and held polluters accountable.”
The campaign’s climate policy also touched on her role as president of the U.S. Senate, where she cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act – which the policy described as “the largest investment in climate action in history.”
During the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last month, Harris framed the fight against “climate change” as one of patriotism. She insisted that under former President Donald Trump, “many other fundamental freedoms are at stake … [including] the freedom to breathe clean air, and drink clean water and live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis.”
But it is worth noting that Harris “has not offered any new policies for addressing climate change,” according to a separate piece by Climate Depot. It also noted that the vice president has mentioned climate less frequently than President Joe Biden during his 2020 campaign.
The piece also noted that the approach to addressing “climate change” is far from being rooted in freedom. If anything, most of the steps to tackle it often come from top-down mandates instead of bottom-up initiatives. Examples of these include bans on combustion engine vehicles and coal-fired power plants in the name of “net zero” carbon emissions.
This led Marc Morano of Climate Depot to point out that Harris’ approach to climate change is more akin to the “freedom is slavery” idea espoused in the book “1984” by George Orwell. (Related: WORD SALAD: Kamala Harris says climate slavery means “freedom” and “patriotism.”)
Even Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who Harris picked to be her running mate, appears to be a staunch advocate of climate extremism with his opposition to fossil fuels. Morano noted in an Aug. 7 article that Walz is no better than Harris as he wants to cancel all fossil fuel production.
He also recounted a separate report by POLITICO, which said Walz signed a sweeping clean energy bill just a month after being sworn into a second gubernatorial term. Under this new measure, utilities must produce 100 percent carbon-free energy by 2040 – a Herculean task given the unreliable nature of renewables like wind and solar.
The aforementioned bill, one of the Midwest’s most progressive climate policies and just one of many he signed while in office, faced intense opposition from Republicans. Despite this, it managed to pass in the state legislature along straight party lines after Democrats flipped the Minnesota Senate in 2022.
But before the November 2022 midterm election, the Minnesota governor had to advocate climate reforms on his own via executive order. This he did in 2021 by looking to California, with the North Star State adopting the Golden State’s clean cars rule. The complete ban on new gas-powered car sales endured a legal challenge from the Minnesota Auto Dealers Association.
“In 2022, his climate change scheme called for increasing the share of electric cars on Minnesota roads to 20 percent by 2030, from the current one percent,” Morano wrote. “He has also proposed completely banning liquid transportation fuels by 2050.”
