(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) In defense of the Biden administration’s radical green agenda, Secretary of State Antony Blinken refused to acknowledge nuclear war as a greater threat to humanity than climate change.
Blinken made the statement in an interview on 60 Minutes Australia, when journalist Amelia Adams asked the secretary which issue was of more concern.
“Well, you can’t, I think, have a hierarchy. There are some things that are front and center – the wolf at the door – including potential conflict, but there’s no doubt that climate represents an existential challenge to all of us,” Blinken said.
“It’s one of the reasons we’re so gratified at Australia’s leadership when it comes to combating climate change; that Australia is stepping up in the way that it sends a very powerful message.”
Calling climate change “the existential challenge of our times,” Blinken gave props to Australia’s green efforts, claiming, “It’s both practical in what Australia is doing, but it also is the symbolism of an important country taking a clear stand and also taking action against climate.”
While the possibility of a larger dispute with Russia looms, critics have claimed that global elites and Biden officials are more concerned with funding and pushing the climate change narrative.
Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry outright refused to call Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping a “dictator,” and allowed the eastern nation to be classified as a “developing nation” in order to avoid enforcing climate emissions standards.
The Biden administration also pushed mass amounts of funding towards the climate change agenda via scare tactics provided by international organizations such as the World Health Organization.
WHO recently increased its 2024-2025 budget by $6.83 billion to fight “pandemics fueled by climate change” and “emergencies of all kinds.”
