In the coming days and weeks, people will hear an awful lot from America’s political, media, Hollywood, and academic elites about the urgent need for Congress to pass President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” plan.

A centerpiece to Biden’s plan is the Green New Deal, the far-left’s effort to end the production and use of fossil fuels, which are critical to our nation’s economy. We’ll be lectured that “there’s no time to waste” and “the climate crisis is making hurricanes stronger and more deadly.” That assertion, like much of what we hear from radical environmentalists filtered through the liberal media, is flat-out wrong.
