ICYMI: Rubio: Prioritize Global Food Supply Over Climate Fantasies
Biden Admin Prioritizes Climate Fantasies While Famine Threatens The World

…Global food supply chain chaos has increased due to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine…. Understanding the impending crisis, the European Commission has opened up conserved agricultural land for cultivation and distributed $550 million to European farmers to increase production.
Last week, I asked the Biden administration to take similar steps by opening “approximately four million acres of high quality farmland” for production that are currently held under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
President Biden refused. As an explanation, his Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the National Grain and Feed Association that re-opening the farm land would have “a significant and detrimental impact on producers’ efforts to mitigate climate change.”
This is not the first time President Biden placed his environmentalist image above common sense and human life. U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry’s obsession with cutting a Green New Deal with Communist China caused him to overlook slave labor in Xinjiang. Moreover, President Biden refuses to expand domestic energy production [to avoid] “upending our initiatives to save the planet from the climate crisis.”
At every turn, the Biden administration embraces climate fanaticism as a means to enrich its favorite corporate donors and appeal to a small fringe of the Democratic Party’s base, while empowering monsters like Xi Jinping, Ayatollah Khamenei, and Nicolas Maduro….
Opening up four million acres of CRP lands to cultivation will not destroy the climate, but it may save lives…. Biden needs to rethink his priorities, and fast. There is no time to lose.
