A conservative think tank is seeking a federal court order to expose a Biden plan to impose radical “climate policies” by force, and in defiance of federal transparency laws.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) wants a court to order the Biden administration “to preserve relevant documents and other materials from the White House’s National Climate Task Force (NCTF) and its former director, Gina McCarthy,” CEI announced.
“The NCTF is an office under the Executive Office of the President at the White House that sets nationwide policy on climate issues, including a plan to cut at least half of all greenhouse gas emissions by 2030,” CEI reports.
But those policies are being made in secret, and forced on Americans without a vote of Congress or even the opportunity for public comment.
“Since taking office almost two years ago, the Biden Administration has ignored its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act while setting policy for federal regulations in secret,” said CEI attorney Devin Watkins.
“Today, we are asking the court to order that the National Climate Task Force records be preserved, including those of NCTF chair Gina McCarthy who recently resigned her position. The Biden Administration promised to be transparent. The American people want to know: What is the President’s National Climate Task Force hiding?,” said Watkins.
Critics allege the NCTF is just a ploy by the Biden administration to implement radical environmentalist policies, including the United Nation’s Paris “climate accord,” without the approval of Congress, public input or even transparency.
“While the NCTF admits they are established under the Executive Office of the President, it claims its personnel are only advising President Biden. But the NCTF is directing its member agencies to implement the policies they devise,” CEI report.
“The Executive Order creating the NCTF expressly orders it to do such implementation. Under FOIA, the factual basis for these policies and their implementation must be available to the public. Any deals the Biden NCTF made with entities outside the federal government must also be available,” CEI adds.
The Biden White House has been defying lawsuits seeking documents for over a year.
“In May 2021, CEI sued the Biden Administration under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for records related to the work of the National Climate Task Force (NCTF),” CEI notes. “But despite making such sweeping policies, the NCTF has failed to respond by the legally-mandated deadline of March 17, 2021.”

Simple solution… IMPEACH 46! The list of impeacheable acts brought about by Biden is staggering. He’s a clear and present danger to America.
Can we prosecute then or later??
Jan 2, begin Biden inpeachment!
Nothing this admin has done stands up to scrutiny..first it seemed they methodically undid every single thing that Trump accomplished…now he ‘rules’ by exective order and/or behind closed doors……AND he is demented unfortunately; not an attribute for president of the united states
This jerk-off must think he is George III reincarnated.
arrest and jail obiden
Biden belongs in prison.!!!!!!
Sue the scheming officials individually as well since unless and until that is done, they all can hide behind the federal department veil and they are completely unaccountable.
Joe Putz Biden!
Impeach Biden!
Biden has committed another impeachable offence. He is not permitted to impose the U N climate schemes on the U S without the consent of Congress. The Paris Climate Accords are harmful to the U S and will have no actual effect on climate. Man made climate change is not real and those who are pushing an agenda to combat it are communists.
The big Green lie. Does he know that 100% of the benefit of CA’s draconian green policies since the 70’s was wiped out by last year’s forest fires? Can anyone tell the difference?
He is a traitor. Common knowledge
The new Republican controlled Congress will impeach braindead Biden in 2023!
The potus doesn’t have these powers. This is a breach at the least. This is treason to the USA and all parties involved!
I feel sorry for Biden, he is not well and is not capable of running any country, never has been. The real problem is who is behind the curtain telling this man what to do. His brain is no longer capable of helping himself let alone the United States. He is more tied to the communist country China and needs to retire before this once wonderful country is destroyed.
Biden needs to be Impeached for purposfuffy defying Federal laws on privacy meetings on climate policies.
I have a fundamental Constitutional question: How are Executive Orders even allowed? Under the Constitution only Congress can create laws. These Executive Orders are, in essence, de facto laws thereby usurping the balance of powers guaranteed by the Constitution. These questionable EOs give the Executive Branch of our government unparalleled power, hinging on being dictatorial.
They call these gasses greenhouse gasses because they make the Earth greener, plants cannot live without these gasses and grow faster and bigger with more of these gasses.
Yeah, I get it…Funny Uncle Joe and the DemoCreep Socialists think that We the People are too ‘stoopid’ to figure out what is best for us and for our Nation. Well, Let’s Go Brandon!
LMAO…the UN has no standing here! They are a joke, much like Biden is.
Looks like a Impeachment.
