over the climate portions of the Build Back Better bill, the President’s ambitious economic package, which contained the most sweeping climate measures ever to reach the Senate floor. To provide the even more excruciating context: this is the third time in the past thirty years that Congress has balked at serious climate legislation.
In 2009, “cap-and-trade” legislation passed the House by a narrow margin—more than forty Democrats joined Republicans in siding with the fossil-fuel industry. The bill limped to the Senate, where John Kerry, of Massachusetts, and Barbara Boxer, of California, could not find a Republican co-sponsor. They didn’t even bring the bill up for a vote, knowing that it would lose;And now this failure, which is all the more painful for having been so close to success.
Well that's on this fake Democrat and the Republicans.
Never could. All about economics not science
JoeManchin
Yes... there are monsters in the world....
Thanks to one guy!
Not content to kill coal miners in his state and elsewhere by trading in low grade coal, he puts the whole planet at risk. Black Lung Joe.
Good
jimboazil That’s awesome news. Climate legislation is useless. Climate change is cyclical, has been for decades.
When one man is basically killing the planet why can't the planet kill one man to save itself?
modest targets? What about the added fuel to the out of control spending effecting inflation and every day living expenses that are now out of control?
Good. We don’t have the luxury of cutting our economy off at the knees to satisfy your need for entertainment anymore. Get a hobby nerds

SHAME ON JOE MANCHIN FOR VOTING ANTI WORLD ONCE AGAIN - VOTE HIM OUT unless you want the world to die
Thank God got Manchin. The only reasonable democrat.
Degrees farenheit/billion dollars over the course of 100 years. Show us the projections of the difference it will make. Convince us.
It’s not Biden. It’s not Congress. It’s Republicans and It’s Manchin.
And the answer is to make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant when it come to actual important votes. They have proven themselves to be unable to meet the times and requirement for personal integrity.
Time changes everything. November ain’t that far anymore
It’s terrifying to me that a country as ignorant & wilfully negligent as America wields the power it does. AmericaIsBroken
China now leads US by far with solar, wind, nuclear and EVs. Do most Americans even know this?
Everything is a damned farce.
MAnchin votesl against the future of the world
May be the goal isn’t ensuring preservation of all life forms since history of earth has shown that species come and go extinct but rather we should ensure that new species can always form. That seems like a lower hurdle given how adaptable new life forms are. What’s missing?
Our planet is dying. Our democracy is dying. Mr Manchin your grandchildren and mine will grow up with the consequences of climate change that you refuse to do anything about. Profits from the fossil fuel industry worth the destruction?
Why not just say: Coal baron from West Virginia a.k.a., Senator Joe Manchin is a cat playing with coal mine canary that he ate to end government oversight of coal mines. Or just the coal baron part. Or the conflict of interests of Joe Manchin Or Climate Changer Joe Manchin
Corporations tell them to do that! They say Jump and congress says ,”How High!”
Joe Manchin is a republican.
VP RepJoshHarder Sen_JoeManchin Daddy would have made certain we didn't sit down for a week. /BRF/
Sen_JoeManchin will be remembered as being responsible for the suffering of many in the future. Joe has chosen himself over the future of the planet. It is sad to watch a man destroy his legacy. His name will be spoken with disdain, not for greatness. Life is full of choices.
Just a simple criminal against human life.
We be munchin on Manchin until he is no longer there.
JOES preparing an EXECUTIVE ORDER, to circumvent DINO MANCHIN; The GOPs latest new tool
Senator Manchin won't have to wait to burn in hell, he'll burn right here on earth with the rest of us.
Democrats like high energy which helps putin and opec. Are they even aware of that?
